This was a lovely night to celebrate with my Home Group, which I've had for 3 years, taught some of them for 4 years. It was also a slightly emotional night to see them all officially leaving high school behind and going off on their respective pathways. This is my first Home Group to graduation that I have had. And these students have taught me a lot over the years. I've admired each of them for persevering with their journeys through high school and onto their future. Being able to read their names out and watch them walk across the stage, meant the world to me.

Everything comes to an end! I'm not sure how I feel about the Year 12's finishing up. In part I'm glad that they are moving on to their new adventures and I'm proud of what they have all achieved; however, I am not used to being a "class down" during Week 5 of Term 4. It's a really odd feeling! Taking down the display in my Media Studies classroom was bittersweet but I'm forever grateful for being given the opportunity to teach outside of my comfort zone with a group of students who were willing to learn alongside me! Now, onwards to Graduation next week! What started as two of us getting sick of being asked "is Hitler part of WW1?" and various other questions (and repeating the outline several times) turned into me creating subject posters for each of the subjects that we either teach, have the potential to teach, or currently teach. They took a while and did end up on the back burner while Stage 2 Media Studies was wrapped up but I am so glad that they are finally done! ** Post will be updated with the PDF's. 
This was my first experience at a large scale SACE forum, and it was fantastic to be able to work with fellow Media Studies teachers to start to map out our journey to subject renewal. Formal this year was special. This group of students is my first Home Group that I'll have graduate in my career. While I'll save the trip down memory lane until gradation day, I was so proud to be able to see these kids dressed up in their finery and have a ball. The memories made were and always will be special. (Note: faces hidden to protect student privacy.) |
