Sheena Cameron

As part of out PD, the Hinau Team decided to go to Palmerston North to attend Sheena Cameron's seminar on how to create an effective writing program in our classrooms. We really enjoyed it, and took away some valuable ideas. Stay tuned to see some of the results of the seminar in action with B2's students.

Creating an Effective Writing Programme

Catholic Schools Day!

EOTC

As part of our EOTC week, the staff planned a number of different activities that involved the help and support of families and whanau. We offered a range of options and asked the parents if they had any expertise or experience in some of the areas. The result was fantastic, and it really brought the community together.

Enneagram

The beginning of the year began with an eye opening seminar.  We were introduced to the Theology of Enneagrams and what is has revealed has been most telling.  It has made me question, accept, acknowledge and understand my behaviour, needs and communication with my colleagues.

Technology Leadership

2016 begins my official journey into leadership in the technology realm of my professional development. It is an opportunity I am very excited about. I look forward to learning how technology in the classroom can greatly improve collaboration and engagement in this technological world. I want our classrooms to be relevant and using technology is a great way to make this happen.

I am beginning with all things Chromebook!  I have spent some time investigating some of the possibilities that Chromebooks afford classrooms, and Hapara is one programme that I am really excited about.
