Half-way mark :)

Hello there :) You are at the top of the mountain and ready to enjoy the ride down! This is the start of your sixth week, and there's only 3 to go after this one!!!

The feedback from your teachers is mostly good..... you know who you are lol.

At this important stage of the course (sorting out the stayers and the players) I want to again reinforce that I am here to help you guys successfully complete this course. If anything is getting in the way, or making it a bit tricky - let me know!

Thanks also for communicating through this blog and the wiki (Brady especially). It's a great way for me to keep up with where things are at for you!

Cheers :)

What's Happening Guys??


A (not so) funny thing often happens in the third week of a course. People start getting a little 'loose' around attendance, behaviour and interactions with students and teachers.

I've been told a few things over the last week.....Fires..... running around the RSL.... ????

Tell me what's going on for you guys..... Do you think you're giving it 100%??

I want to hear your version of how things are going...... events from both Tuesday and Wednesday. I also want to hear WHERE you're intending to go from here.....

What do you reckon?


Hey there everyone :) I hope you survived the bus ride home. I didn't hear anything in the news, so I'm assuming no-one killed anyone...... we might have to look into some conflict management and relaxation skills hey??

Alright, you've been doing the course for 2 weeks now and I've got some things to say to you:

1. CONGRATULATIONS on sensational attendance and behaviour in your classes. I'm really stoked with the way you're all turning up and showing such a great attitude towards learning. If you all continue as you are..... you're destined for success!!!!!!! Well done!

2. What did you think of Friday? Give me some feedback and comments that I can pass on to the organisers..... I thought you all did really well and had some great information and ideas to give to everyone there. I was very proud of you all!

3. End of course celebration..... Keep thinking about it!


4. Anything else you want to tell me? Bring it on....

Cheers

Howdy there Get Skilled students. This is where I'll get you to check in with me week-to-week.

Do you know what a blog is?? It's a dynamic internet journal - where people can record their thoughts and ideas, and other users can view and comment on these. 'Social networking' it's called..... much like Myspace :)

As part of the Get Skilled course, I'll be getting you to sign up for your own blog account, and keep your own online journals - through which you'll reflect upon your own learning throughout the course.

It's also going to be a cool, easy and different way of you letting me know if anything's bugging you, or troubling you...... either with the modules you're studying at TAFE, or stuff in your life that could be making it hard for you to attend, or concentrate while you're here.

Remember.... MY goal is to help YOU succeed!

Check ya!
