From our April Newsletter

Term two is a busy term full of promise here at Breens. We have our teams training and practising Our extension programme has hit the ground running and our peer mediators will be sharing their leadership skills throughout the school.......all this before we even get into the learning-rich classrooms!
I went for a stroll around the classrooms the other day and the buzz of motivated learning was infectious! I was warmed to see so many students engaged in a cacophony of activities. The learning conversations around the school are interesting too. Students are leading their own learning, reflecting on their experiences and analysing their thinking.......I hope I was even half as engaged when I was at school!
Over the next few months, I am going to turn the focus of my newsletter pieces to our learning targets. I am going to report to you on what the students are telling me about their learning and I hope to relate some interesting ideas and results from around the school.
If there is a particular area of learning at Breens you would like to know more about or maybe, a question about the multitude of learning experiences that go on here please do feel free to contact me by phone at 3598108 or by email at corrina.bailey@breens.school.nz .
