Secondary Update
Monday 16th May
Thanks go to...
Colleagues on the PosEd Lead Team for provoking thought and great conversations at Monday's meeting
Bruce for convening the Noam Chomsky talk (click here to listen!)
All staff for their understanding, calm approach during the Red Rain on Tuesday and the fire alarm on Wednesday!
Featured colleagues - Asa Haeggblom and Kayti Marr
Most of us can do a pretty mean Pavarotti in the shower but it takes serious courage to sing in front of an audience - our very own Kayti and Asa do just that. They are part of the Kassia Choir, which is very prominent in Hong Kong and has been going since 2003. The choir usually does concerts several times a year so look out for dates and go along and support - the shows are great fun. Well done Kayti and Asa!
