Each of the students sessions went to the very end with Q&A, and had to be cut off!  Lot’s of inquisitive minds… great day.  A fantastic turnout this evening by the parents.  Good engagement between parents on questions, and super feedback!  Thank You!

Great morning with the kids of both St Francis of Assisi and Immaculate Conception. Thank You to the parents for having me at the school and for your attendance tonight.

Thank You to the staff and students.  Great questions and nice to see the Grade 7s taking notes!  Looking forward to speaking to the parents in our January 2012 presentation.

Fantastic day at OLF!  Lots of great questions from the kids, and a Very Engaged group of parents in the evening.  It was great to see teachers supporting the parents by attending this evening!  Your feedback was tremendous!

Very attentive group today at St Emily.  The students had great questions – as usual.  See you in November when we speak to your parents.

In my profession, being rewarded is relative to each day.  Yesterday, of the many one on one conversations I had, two clearly stuck out.  1) When a 19yr old university student returns back to her school to listen to the adult only presentation, and waits patiently (while parents speak with me) to tell me how much she appreciated what she learned, and how much of an impact it made – that is rewarding.  2) When a dad tells you how his son came home, and made some serious changes to his online profile and how he will act moving forward – that is rewarding.

An amazing turnout!  Thanks to the parent council for their efforts in promoting our event.  Thanks to St Peter’s Roman Catholic Church and Father Micheal (who also attended!) for communicating our event at Sunday Mass.  We went a little long, but the parents hung in there and had great questions, and your feedback is greatly appreciated!
