I'm now the Science Faculty Leader at Lynfield College. More focused job description (only 1 title to worry about instead of 3!) but still a bigger job and definitely a step in the direction I want to go.
Lynfield has been very welcoming, and I feel I've settled in well. No earthshaking changes (yet) but just working on a few little things that seem to have slipped away from the centre of focus, like Learning Intentions and Success Criteria. The school has a very different feel to Waitak, but a very positive atmosphere. Success builds success, and Lynfield has certainly had success with a high number of Scholarships in the Sciences last year. The challenge here is to look at that often overlooked group "the lower middle" who want to learn and can do well, but don't get the glory and therefore miss out on the attention they need to be the best they can be.
Things to think about, systems to observe, changes to plan.
Time to make a difference out there!
