<p>The teaching team spent the last few days of the break in Christchurch attending the Think Forward Conference.&nbsp; This was run by the team at Waimairi School.&nbsp; An excellent few days of learning.&nbsp; The last thing we did was say goodbye to Emma Hunt, who unlike us who were flying home to Southland, she was flying to Singapore!&nbsp; See you next term Emma, see the rest of you tomorrow morning at 8.55.</p>
