CALL BACK DAY 10th July "Very well run day. Great presentations and great to see the CoL come together"
"The day had a good selection of topics that were relevant, provided ample opportunity for professional development and central to the goals of He Waka Eke Noa. There was opportunity for discussion and networking for teachers."
"A big thank you to all presenters for the time and energy they put into breakouts. I hope that others will be inspired to do so next time. I hope that there will be a next time!"
"An ideal opportunity for teachers to come together to discuss, reflect, review practices and understandings, create new thoughts, hunches and visions.. It also provided time for networking and celebrating the things we do well."
"I came away inspired to implement some of what I had learned, which was exciting."
"Great on point presentations delivered by current teachers in the practise, speaks volumes on their pedagogical knowledge and expert subject material really enjoyed the sharing. Nga mihi nui."
It was fantastic to be connecting with Waikato Tainui today at Hopuhopu. Working together collaboratively to support our tamariki.

Great to see lots of educators from our ECEs and schools today, as they had a collaborative learning group focus on ECE/transitions. They visited Tots Love Country, Te Kowhai Kindergarten, Te Kowhai School, Sunshine Childcare, First Steps & Vardon School, before having workshops/discussions on interest areas. It is great to have such strong interest and support from the ECE sector and we look forward to bolstering this relationship.
