Hi Natalie
I would just like to say another thank you on behalf of our team to yours. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and feel enthusiastic about where we are heading. One thing we did forget to ask was about homework - whether you set the same tasks across the team, or not have homework tasks?
It was interesting visiting Lepperton too. They are having a new school built so 'making do' with their physical environment. They were really focussing on students setting their own goals and driving their own learning. Interesting.
Once again thank you.
Kind regards,
Judy

Thanks! We had a great day, seeing 3 different practices.  Frankley is a must see, if you haven't already. (We were welcomed in by powhiri, which was amazing!)

If you wanted to fit the rubric to our rise values, that'd be fantastic! We are looking to start feeding in some learning behaviours and skills to prepare our kids for change.

Thanks again!
Jess
