When multiple teachers within a school all use the same routines, special things happen.

Finally got round to reading this after picking a copy up on the recent visit back to the UK. What a great collection. Has got me thinking about a return to the plague petitions piece I started a few months back. Nice work @Brodie_Waddell !!

Always a pleasure popping into the school’s archives.

[Dr Aaron Columbus @columbus_aaron]

It was a pleasure to host educators from Westlake Boys’ High School, Queen Margaret College, and St Patrick’s Silverstream, and to share the exciting work we are doing in the teaching and learning space.

[Dr Aaron Columbus @columbus_aaron]

We’ve been creating pieces about interesting moments in the college’s history to share with the community. It’s been fun, especially engaging with old Wellingtonian magazines. These are from 1947/48, for a piece about the school closing during the polio outbreak.

Not my usual time period but enjoying time with these records at the JC Beaglehole Room at VUW. Little research into role of a former WC Headmaster on the University senate - potential HM to name our school research centre after.

Have you seen this early image of the Tower of London?

It's found in a manuscript made around 1483, containing the poems of Charles, duke of Orléans, who had been imprisoned there after his capture at Agincourt.

In the distance is the old London Bridge!

Finally picked up a copy - looking very forward to starting it later this evening.

[Dr Aaron Columbus @columbus_aaron]

School holidays finally allow a little space to think about other work - enjoying the final edits for this piece about local responses to the rate problem in the suburbs of early Stuart London.

[Dr Aaron Columbus @columbus_aaron]

@Brodie_Waddell Congrats Brodie. Excited to read this.

[Brodie Waddell @Brodie_Waddell]
