MORE SCHOOL MATTERS RECOGNITION FOR CANNING SCHOOLS
On page 13 of the School Matters a photo of a student working with a "Intellikeys" keyboard is featured. The caption does not name the student but we have been informed that he is Daniel Kirk from Canning Vale PS ESC and he is working with his teacher Justin Mortley.
On page 14 Professor Art Costa is pictured with students from Grovelands PS. Professor Costa was at Grovelands PS as they are putting into whole-school practice the Habits of Mind, which was developed by the professor.
BE ALERT TAKE 2!
In an earlier edition of the Exec Email we advised schools to be on the lookout for letters/emails concerned with a student named John Cragg. It appears that schools are now being asked to provide 'With Compliments' slips for this student. Please be advised that this a hoax and John Cragg is not a student at Beehive Montessori School. Please exercise due care.
