End of 2016


I have had a great year working with all the Quest children. 

 Best of luck to the year 6's who leave us to go to intermediate / college. I know you will do well with your curiosity, questioning, problem solving and deep thinking. Remember that deep learning is effective learning - it's good to feel challenged and go into the 'learning pit', even though it may feel uncomfortable at times. Keep striving to challenge yourself.  It has been a pleasure getting to know you all. Please keep in touch if you can - I love to hear how you are going. 

 I look forward to working with the rest of the students again in 2017.

 Have a Merry Christmas and a relaxing holidays.
