It’s always good connecting with other school leaders, hearing what schools are doing around the country and sharing the great things that are happening at Green Bay High School. This week we have celebrated Samoan Language Week and it was great seeing so many students celebrating Samoan language and culture across the week. Seeing students proudly sharing their own culture and tradition at today’s shared lunch was fantastic. Another cause for celebration this week was finding out that Year 10 student Benji Godsmark is off to the NASA space camp later in the year. It’s such an exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to hearing all about his trip when he returns. Enjoy the long weekend.
