Last night we had a great eveing looking at the programmes we run in Y7 and Y8 at our school.  You can see a copy of the powerpoint I shared by following this link.
The marketing for high schools and intermediate aged children is particularly intense this year and it is important that people are aware of the unique things that Outram School offers your children.
All schools have to follow the same curriculum, it is the differences in the ways we ‘do it’ and the elements we focus on that is the key to what makes schools different. The learning culture at Outram School is very strong and things like the Allen Centre/Vision Programme are quite unique. We have a big commitment to offering a range of opportunities and experiences to our children and lighting the sparks of curiosity about as many different things as we can.

Teachers from other schools come to see the things we do and to learn from our experiences. Later this term we have a group from Queenstown Primary coming for example, and throughout this year teachers have been coming to visit our school and find out about our programmes.
Peggy Steadman from the Allen Centre has even been invited to contribute to a university programme in the US as a guest presenter describing the programmes she coordinates for us. This is how good it is!
