On Thursday 17 October the Year 9 students had the opportunity to display their Expo projects during the Junior Showcase. All the hard work they had been doing throughout the year in their Compass classes was on full display during the evening.
It was great to see the interactions between the Year 9 students with members of the public, as well as the younger children who were also visiting. The time and patience Year 9 took to explain their project spoke volumes about how passionate many were about their work.
What teachers enjoy the most about the evening is to see the journey the Year 9 students have gone through, the new skills learned, the boost in the student’s confidence when the goals were achieved, and most of all, the proud look of the students when parents and other students asked them about their project.
It was a long journey to get to Expo night, the exhausting two days setting up and then packing up, but worth it when you have the opportunity to look back to the beginning of the year and see how far many students have come, the growth in their confidence. When reflecting back on this, I can happily say, all the hard work that went into Junior Showcase was totally worth it when you get to witness and experience the outcome.
