PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
MY DAY AS PRINCIPAL - ARIANE TOW
On Wednesday, 24th of May, I had the opportunity to be principal for a day. I was sitting in class when there was an announcement over the loudspeaker. “Ariane Tow, also known as Principal Tow, please come to the office.”
When I arrived, I was immediately set to work, designing a principal’s award for me to use throughout the day and for Mr Coombes to continue to use throughout the year.
Before the day started, I was asked to choose a topic that I am passionate about and believed important for students to think about when learning and growing and share in assemblies and classes. The topic I chose was, the importance of decision making and how it can impact your daily life.
As Principal I went around to different classrooms, spoke about choices and got to view outstanding work and reward students with special stickers and a certificate.
After recess, we walked down to the shops to purchase hot chocolate and coffee for the office staff. We then attended the Stage 1 and 3 assemblies where I spoke to the students about my topic 'The important of decision making'. It was also my pleasure to present to students their merit and You Can Do It awards recognising students for their effort, achievement and impact at Artarmon PS.
In the afternoon I became the teacher of 1BC and taught them how to use creative thinking skills when using blue-bots. The problem given was to get the blue-bot to follow set instructions. Some issues with technology were encountered so we improvised and the students became their own blue-bots!
It was a fabulous day and I hope that Mr Coombes had as much fun as I did.
