a REAL education for a REAL future

I work at a really good school.

A fantastic school!

My issue …. we don’t say it enough to each other or to the kids.

After going to the exec conference, we talked about our issues, what was going on and what we needed to do. One thing really came out at the conference, we are all very passionate about the work we’re doing, the school and most importantly the students.

So, we’re making some changes. Celebrations! We need to celebrate the school more. Cherie and I started with a REAL circle time LbD. The REAL circle time LbD looks at the schools vision,  a REAL education for a REAL future. respectful Relationships, a safe and sustainable Environment, high Achievement and quality Learning. The LbD looks at focusing on these four values, highlighting what they are, what they mean and how we can use them at school.

So we’ve started, now the issue is …. we need to keep going! It is important not lost momentum as the term starts to wear as down. We need to keep celebrating the achievements of our students, we need to keep working on our quality curriculum and continue to praise the students and our staff.

So in the words of Kylie Minogue … Celebration good times, come on, It’s a celebration, Celebration good times, come on, Let’s celebrate.

  1. Hi Prue,

    You don’t seem to have lost your momentum yet!
    I love this project, the assembly was a great start last week and the learning element is looking really good. It’s gong to be really good for our school!

  2. Awesome vision, Prue! You are so right, educators are always so focused and knee-deep in trying to improve, in fixing, altering, editing, etc., that we lose sight of the great things that are happening all around us! I’m also so fortunate to teach in a great school and you have reminded me to take an occasional step back and celebrate. Thanks! –> Ryan
