Visit from St. Joseph's School, Temuka

Maire Bowler —

Yesterday we hosted the Principal and senior leaders from St. Joseph's Catholic School in Temuka.

The visit was arranged because they had heard of the great things happening in our school. The visitors were most impressed with what they saw. They spoke highly of our collaboration, student autonomy, use of spaces, Junior School Structured Language Programme, teacher's taking groups in proximity to each other, the amazing opportunities, systems and independent learning going on in our Intermediate hub. They asked lots of questions of teachers and students. It was great to hear abut what they were doing in their school also as they shared some of their practice with us as well. We were very proud of all of our tamariki, who showed what 'business as usual' at St. Francis looks like.
