While sitting at the airport we continued to reflect on our three days together. We know how valuable collaboration in the classroom is and we have had plenty of opportunity this week to spend time getting to know each other, the CORE team and Sally and Sue from NZCER our researchers and mentors.


We've completed challenges, icebreakers, energizers and culinary experiences that have helped us become a tight knit group.


We even managed to involve "The Stormers" last night in our "Navigational literacy". With a little bit of encouragement it's amazing what we can achieve.

Yesterday and today we have been busy discussing our projects with our Mentors. Marion and I have Sally from NZCER. Through our discussions I have been able to clarify my plan in more detail. I've already done some of the ground work during this first term so it feels good to know that I'm on the way.
