Tahuna loves student teachers

We're lucky as a Normal school to get multiple groups of student teachers working at Tahuna all through the year.

Currently, we have a bunch of second-years working hard in some classrooms. Room 16 is fortunate to have Maddie Tinnock in our room for three weeks. The photo shows one of her dance lessons. It's great for our class that most of the lessons Maddie is teaching are arts-based - along with dance, she is teaching drama, art and music. Of course, maths and literacy feature as well.

Along with Maddie, we had 2 first-year students in our room at the end of last term. Their time in Room 16, like Maddies's, enriched the learning environment for the class. It's excellent for our students to have these training teachers in our rooms. They bring enthusiasm and new ideas, and the kids enjoy chatting with them, too.
