Teaching and Learning

Many of you would be familiar with the work of Simon Sinek, a New York author, and unshakeable optimist who has delivered many Ted Talks on topics such as “Start with Why” and “Millennials”. One topic I stumbled across was his talk on consistency and it made me think about the students at McCarthy and their learning journey.

We have many students who approach learning consistently and persistently. The success of the HSC, the offers they receive into university courses and employment, are not built in a year’s hard work. It is built from daily habits, consistent and persistent work from Years 7-12. Students who ‘do little bits often’ tend to feel less overwhelmed when it comes to tasks and exams. Students have been preparing well for the end of year examinations and I encourage them to keep up their efforts consistently.

“Integrity is when our words and deeds are consistent with our intentions.” – Simon Sinek

It is with great pleasure that I congratulate HSC student Maggie Fulwood who has been selected for inclusion in Texstyle. Texstyle is the annual exhibition of a selection of outstanding textiles projects from the HSC. The exhibition is coordinated by the Technology Educators Association (TEANSW) and will be held at The Muse, TAFE Ultimo College.
