End of Term

The wild winds are blowing outside and we await spring anxiously. Hopefully the weather for the holidays will give us opportunities to get back outside and enjoy the fresh air. Spare a thought for me as I head off to the public library system where the school holidays are the busiest days of the year.

A few reminders:

• Our Graphic Novel workshop is Saturday 9 November at Whangarei Library from 11.00am - 12noon. Try and encourage your school colleagues to come along with you.
• Collected should (I hope!) be out on Friday with plenty of conference reading. 
• The NE are meeting in early November, let me know if you have any concerns or questions.
• Welcome to our new members, we appreciate you joining our flock.
• Thank you to Jeannie. Those who attended her Northland Secondary School's Annual PD Day came away buzzing with useful new ideas.
• Join the National Library online communities and make some time every day for professional reading, free professional development.

I hope that you all get enough of a rest to tackle Term 4 with it's stocktake and end of year reporting.
