Great to watch colleagues’ interest and enthusiasm during our PD with Eowyn Crisfield @4bilingualism today. A truly motivating and inspiring expert in the field. Looking forward to supporting colleagues as they take today’s learning into their classrooms. Thank you @4bilingualism

Student messages/ Learning Support room 🌲: ❤️
Let’s imagine.Let’s read.Let’s dream.
It never goes away, it goes around.
Life is like a basketball, sometimes it goes down but it always comes back up!
You can make mistakes, even if you’re a teacher: it’s OK!
Be the best you can.
