Term 1 reflection

The commencement of a new school year provides both a mix of anticipation and trepidation; concepts, ideas and expectations rise to a new level. As we now reach the end of this 11 week term it is worth reflecting on all that has been achieved. One of the fundamental attributes of students in IB schools is be reflective. I encourage our students to take some time to reflect upon their learning from this time and to look forward with their plans and goals for Term 2 and beyond.

I would like to thank all students for the way they have engaged with their learning throughout the term. The focus for our students this term has been to BE courageous; this has manifested in a variety of different ways across the year groups and across subject areas. those students who joined us for the first time this year, which includes all of Year 7, I congratulate you on the way you have applied yourself in making this significant transition.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing teaching staff here at Cranbrook who have led, supported, challenged and inspired the young people in their classes.
