SUPER LEARNING DAY! - Year 7

29 September 2017

Tuesday 19th September saw staff and learning ambassadors putting on a full morning of enrichment activities for year 7 students. Activities included sessions on becoming better learners, friendships, E-learning and leadership of learning. Below are a few pictures from the day, and a range of quotes from student feedback forms. This is clearly an extremely valuable day, and provides one part of a package up-skilling students to get as much from life at Parklands as possible!
