It's Queen's Birthday holiday today! Thought I would share a couple of great articles I have enjoyed recently.
Talk about the ultimate learning environment. 4 years,studying in 12 countries. I'm curious to know more about how it all works, but sounds amazing! http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/10109409/Life-changing-journey-for-student And here is the school website - employment opportunities?? http://thinkglobalschool.org I also really enjoyed this article from the latest Education Gazette. http://www.edgazette.govt.nz/Articles/Article.aspx?ArticleId=8938&Title=Flexible%20space%20can%20be%20the%20right%20fit Lots of what we know about modern learning practice being confirmed by the experiences of Vauxhall school in Devonport.

Oh my goodness - I am totally intrigued by the think global school! What an amazing IB experience! Of course reading and watching this information only poses more questions in my mind - would I want my child spending their last 4 years of high school away from me! Do the teacher follow the students around the world? All in all - an AMAZING experience - but would certainly take a special individual to make it work. Place based learning. Love it!
