Congratulations to all students, parents and GWA staff for another fantastic school year. Having a successful year is due to the dedication of our boys and girls in the classrooms, their parents, and hundreds of other people from accounts, to admissions, to secretaries, to teachers, to cleaners, to maintenance, to bus drivers, to teaching assistants, to many, many others. It takes everyone, working together, to create the environment and allow for the experiences that are going to support our students to grow and develop. Students have worked hard and now it's time to enjoy themselves, explore, be bored and get creative, or just find some time to relax - they've earned it. The most important thing though is to ensure that we continue to find ways for students to be stimulated in their thinking. Whenever possible, find opportunities to read and offer some challenging inquiry questions to keep their brains engaged. Sometimes, the simplest questions can generate some wonderful thinking opportunities; for example, if you're in your room, a question might be: How many of your mattresses do you think could fit in your room? There would be several ways of solving this, but you would likely need to explore a range of understandings like volume, dimensions, estimation, addition, multiplication, and measurement - just to name a few.
