Student Voice and Agency, Student Vision and Student Value.
As we finish Term 1, our wonderful Stage 4 students (Years 7 and 8) had an opportunity to reflect on their learning so far this year.
Their responses to the questions ...
1 What does Applied Learning mean to you?
2 What have you most enjoyed this term about
your Applied Learning journey?
... were so wonderful that we just had to share their responses in this final newsletter for the term.
