November Meeting : Wednesday 28 November 2018 – Community Update
Our November board meeting opened with a presentation from Mr Trevor Comber (Science Faculty) on Interdisciplinary Learning. It was really interesting hearing how a topic was spread over a number of subjects to develop and support student learning over each of these subject areas.
The Board also worked through six items in preparation of the next GDC Strategic plan and looked at the 2019 annual goals and reviewed the 2018 goals.
