Opportunities over the holidays

It was wonderful to be invited to speak at two events during the holidays.  The first was the First Time Principals conference in Auckland.  This three day event for beginning principals from around the country is exceptionally well run, and I always get something out of it whether I was attending or speaking.  As this was the second time I have been able to speak I took the school's vision and concentrated on how we have utilised technology (particularly in the way of the School's LMS and M Learning) to enhance learning opportunties for our staff and students. 

Then on Friday Geoff Booth (DP), two of our senior students and I flew down to Wellington to speak to the Ministry of Education about how the School has utilised Ultranet, our school's LMS.  This was an amazing opportunity to share how our Stanley Avenue Learner has been enhanced by creatively using the School's web-site.  It was great to be recognised by the Ministry for the vision and hard work over the last three years.
