Good luck to all the VCE teachers and their students for results today.
It is a number it does not define you nor indicate what you will be capable of achieving or the kind of human you will grow into and become.
For us IBDP teachers and students the wait continues till Monday.

So impressed with my Year 8 Science class… period 5 on the last day of academic classes for the school year and they were busy creating stop animation movies for next year’s Y8 science students.

This article spoke to my heart. I can only imagine a system that focuses on the journey/process rather than the product. Celebrating the thinking - I live in hope.
Great read
