Interviewer Zoey!

While Zoey wasn't able to interview her fellow students about the incursion, she was able to write a great interview with her Principal Josh Brown, alongside Kaleah and Pearl. 

Pearl: How's your first term as Northern Bay College Wexford principal been? 

Yeah, it's been great. I've really enjoyed coming over to Wexford and meeting lots of new families and students and staff. 
There's lots of names to remember though! I'm still learning names. Mr. McCraden is coming back next year so I'll be here for the rest of this year!

Kaleah: What improvements have you seen at the school from the 1st day to the last day of term? 

That is a good question. 
I'm really keen on really tidying up the school. Have you gone into the gym? Remember, we had all those mats and goals and things, it's much safer now. 
So we're gonna do a big cleanup next term. We started that with the gym, and we want to move through the school because I like really clean learning areas!

Zoey: What have been your highlights of this term so far? 

It's a good question because I've been asking lots of people, their highlights as well. I think Harmony Day Assembly was a real highlight for me. 
I really enjoyed Harmony Day Assembly and seeing all the different cultures and all the all the different outfits and the dances and things and it's good to see everybody really getting into it. 

Pearl: What's your favourite colour?

Blue! 

Kaleah: Oh, my God. There was a little bit of a bet going. 
Everybody thought it was purple. Zoey owes me a super-duper!

Zoey: What are you doing over the school holidays? 

We are going camping.
I'm going to borrow my sister's caravan and I'm taking my three-year-old daughter named Frankie. We're going to go down the beach and we're going down with 4 other people who've got kids the same age, so we're going to all go camping together. You need to look at your white ball before this question? 
Of course. 

Kaleah: Who's your favourite student? 

Wow. 
Everyone's my favourites! I can't have favourites. It's like being a  parent. 
You can't have favourites, can you?  Everyone's my favourite here!
