Room 11 had a special visit from our school Principal, Mrs Louisa Barham. This is a formal meeting that Mrs Barham has with all classroom teachers and students about our schools exxpectations. She spoke about our school's values which are: Respect, Resposibility, Quality, Fairness and Passion.
She gave examples of what each value looks and feels like when a student is learning at Peachgrove. She also said that, "Peachgrove is a place of learners" Teachers, office staff, cleaners, caretaker, teacher aide etc are all part of a collaborative team that makes our school an awesome place to learn.
Mrs Barham concluded with a question and answer time which can sometimes be dangerous for any principal. The students asked questions like, "How old are you?" and how long have you been at peachgrove? cheeky little monkeys!
I won't say how old Mrs Barham is, but I will say that she is a very experienced eductor with 29 years of teaching. Farout, I was ony 5 when she first started teaching! "Kaumatua Status"
Something that I didn't know, was that she taught Mr Blair Cocks when he was at intermediate. I bet you he was a little rat-bag and had lots of detentions.
Thank you for visiting our class Mrs Barham and we'll hope to see you soon when we showcase some of our awesome projects this year.
