Skype connecting School's

I walked into a class today to see a group of student's conversing with a group of students at Rototuna Primary in Hamilton over a video call using Skype.  This was an excellent example of technology enhancing the Stanley Avenue Learner.  It was interesting to hear the students talking about their learning and experiences. 

We will remember them....

Todays ANZAC Day assembly was an amazing experience.  To see children from 5 to 13 listening intently to Chief Officer Martin and their House Captains showed the level of respect we have at this School.  The minute silence was still and reflective and the House Captains read their poems with poise and true leadership.  I look forward to seeing students at the Te Aroha ceremony on Sunday.

Learning @ School Presentation
