Queen's Birthday

It has been a LONG time since the last post, so I thought, being a long weekend and all, it was timely for an update. School is going well, this term has raced by and we have now finished 6 weeks. I've managed to survive the silly season of reports, and have also been crazy busy with marking internal assessments. The changes to NCEA level 2 this year have added hugely to my workload. Last year my year 12 class had 2 internal assessments and 5 external, whereas this year they have 6 internal assessments and 1 external...

Badminton is going well, my next Wellington Masters match is next weekend. We are at home, playing
North Harbour and Counties who are both strong teams. I'm also enjoying helping my OBU rugby team out on match days. Last weekend was a good opportunity to give the camera an outing & take a few pics. We beat Stokes Valley by 3 points, which was a good result considering we lost to them by 3 in the first round.

Will has also been practising on the numerous Kereru who visit our property. He managed to snap these on a gorgeous crisp autumnal day.

There is not much else happening really. I've been counting down the days to this long weekend. My school also gives us the Tuesday off which is nice. I've got a haircut booked for Tuesday morning, then will meet up with Emmaline and Lucy (my two QMC friends who are both now on maternity leave) for a late lunch.
