Science Advisor – Training for Primary Teachers

diary.jpg

Hello all, I want to let you know that Vicki has arranged 4 VC sessions with the Science Advisor ( Warren) for Primary teachers.

These will be held at the VC Rooms at the WestNet Schools and you are welcome to attend. This does not need to be the ICT person it can be any teacher on your staff.

The sessions run for an hour, 3:30 – 4:30, the dates for these are 13 March, 15 May, 21 Aug and 23 Oct.

Warren needs to send out some resources in advance of the sessions so I need the names of those wanting to attend into me into me asap.

WestNet schools have sessions like this in other areas of the curriculum. Vicki would like to ensure that this is extended out to the Primary sector, in saying that though our Pre-School teachers may like to attend and see if it is of value for them.

If this is successful then Vicki and I can look at other areas you would like for next year and see if it can be arranged. A great example for other sessions is the SW Cluster Art training, here is a teacher with an area of expertise that through VC could show staff techniques that will help develop students skills in this area, and you do not need to leave town or get in a reliever to attend. (Well most of you)

The following is a list of the WestNet Schools so you know which are near you. They are all aware of you coming and I will finalise numbers and names with Vicki and she will contact the schools once I have them to confirm the sessions.

Greymouth High School, John Paul II, Westland High School, Buller High, Reefton Area School, Murchison, Karamea Area School and South Westland Area School.

Send me an email of the people who will be attending asap, especially for the session on March 13.

Bye Bernie

Kids Congress

This link will take you to the Kids Congress site in Christchurch. At the SW Cluster meeting it was voiced about how great this event is for children and wouldn’t it be great to run something similar on the Coast. The school that hosts it has the children organise the event.

Anyway to get this idea out there I would like some comments on this post from people who have been and any ideas about possibly holding our own one from others.
