The Learning Maps Project aims to: · support students, teachers and families to use their learning maps to actively change their learning environments, · build an understanding of how using the student learning map enables students to take active responsibility for their learning and make positive changes to their learning environments, and · build our understanding of teacher, school leader, parent and Whānau perspectives on how they can best support students in modern-day learning. On Tuesday we had our first ‘Learning Map’ session along with approximately 120 other students from other schools and colleges. From the feedback I have received from staff, students and whanau is that the workshop was very successful and we look forward to hearing more as the project progresses. INTER SCHOOL SOCCER TOURNAMENT This week we had two teams represent Naenae Intermediate at the Intermediate Inter school Soccer Tournament, held at Wakefield Park in Island Bay. Our boy’s team played 3 games and whilst we lost all 3 games they played exceptionally well and were fantastic ambassadors for our school. The girl’s team played 4 games and lost 1 and drew the other 3. Thank you to Mr Botha for coaching and organising both teams.
