School’s out Friday

Today is end of term here in Melbourne; school holidays now for two glorious weeks. It’s been a hectic last few weeks so these holidays are a much needed break.

This is a great video so make sure you watch it. It was uploaded to our Yr 9 ning this week, recommended for inclusion by one of our students who saw the parallels between it and the attitudes to women in 1960’s Australia. This, all a result of our text study of ‘Bye, Beautiful’, which was set in country Western Australia 1966.  Nothing better than a student making connections between something they’re watching and what’s been discussed in class. Makes it all worth it.

Enjoy the weekend. I’m looking forward to sleeping in and no correction!
