These school holidays have been a little bit different in our house. I packed up the car and drove to Armidale for the EDPE247 intensive school at UNE. I had been looking forward to this for so long!
The New England district in New South Wales is so beautiful in autumn; such a wonderful time of year to visit and the weather was glorious while we were there. I loved seeing the autumn colour.
Booloominbah
is such a wonderful building. I had afternoon tea here one day and spent
a bit of time wandering around the gardens. This is the lawn where they
hold the graduation ceremony so I am looking forward to the day I stand here in
a more official capacity.
During the week we participated in creative arts and music, dance, games,
gymnastics and also did a coaching workshop for Soccer. I enjoyed it all
so much and have decided to further my soccer skills through an
FFA training course.
Our group was amazing. We had known each other online through our studies but for many of us this was the first time we had met in person. We had such a great time and I know many of this crowd will be long term friends as we finish our studies and start our teaching careers.
The day the intensive school ended they had a trivia night at the uni bar. To mark the occasion I went for a quiet drink and had some fun. It was a nice way to wrap the official work even though I did stay on campus an extra two days to get some more work done.
