The ups and downs
Rā 301 Rāpare 27 o Whiringa-ā-nuku
Busy day which started of with interviews for the leader of the Community of Learning. Two very strong candidates and impressive presentations. Hillcrest High had to be evacuated because of a bomb scare and eventually all kids were sent home while the bomb squad combed the building. Then we headed to Auckland with a car full to see Bill Bailey. I haven’t laughed so hard for a while – possibly since the last time we saw him! A very clever man. And he tweeted my photo of him on stage!!
Rā 258, Rāapa 14 o Mahuru
Girls night out in Orewa to see Calendar Girls. Very well done and definitely worth the dash from Hamilton.
I love the Auckland skyline as you approach the bridge from the north. A bit hard to get from a moving car but Prisma makes a rubbish photo into an artwork!
Day 198 July 16th 2016
No actual photos today apart from pictures of ovens… Ours has finally given up the ghost so most of today was spent touring whiteware showrooms comparing prices and features. Not the most exciting of shopping trips!
So I have played a bit with editing some photos using the portrait painter app. I quite like this one I took the other day on Mount Eden.
Day 195 July 13th 2016
An intense but rewarding workshop day on the roadmap with a school today. Great conversations, digging deep into learning and leading. Had to finish off the day with some fresh air though (and a spot of Pokemon hunting!!)
Day 194 July 12th 2016
A working afternoon in Auckland followed by a run up Mount Eden to see the sunset (and catch a few Pokemon!)
Day 141 May 20th 2016
2nd SMS day and Oxfam Awards evening. A little underwhelmed by our challenge award for 1st women’s team! Reminded ourselves that we didn’t do it for the reward but for a very good cause. Enjoyed an evening in Auckland – the Sky Tower is always photogenic.
Day 112 April 21st 2016
I love getting up high and looking out. This morning I ran up Mount Eden and was rewarded with a spectacular view over Auckland. This was the 360 shot across the crater.
Day 111 April 20th 2016
A beautiful day today and we were lucky enough to see the tail end of it as we walked back to the hotel from our hui. The moon rising in a fading blue sky over city buildings.
