PD at Papanui on Thursday for Hospitality. This is the second of our cluster meetings and it has been so beneficial being able to get together with other staff from around ChCh schools to see where we are at in comparison.

We spent the morning going through moderation and checking to make sure our marking was okay. It was such a nice feeling to know that the doubts and issues that i was having were shared with the group.

The middle session was looking at units and having pair and group discussions with people doing similar units, seeing how they were run and sharing some of my ideas. I told the other schools about my blogging of the paper work for hospitality and many were thinking of doing something similar with their classes.

In the afternoon CPIT came in and talked to us about what they are offering at their facility today.

It was good to finally understand the links and see the pathways that my students can then move onto. Was really interested in the new Degree of Hospitality they are looking at running in 2017, some of us staff even volunteered to be tasters for the new course.
