The educators at the Union Schools hit the ground running this term!
Not only did they welcome and settle their learners for the new term, but they also attended a ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น and ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ Keller Education session hosted by Gavin Keller, executive director of Keller Education this afternoon.
Union Pre-School, Graaff-Reinet’s staff attended a session on ‘๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ๐ด’ – understanding and embedding the sensory motor programme.

Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s session was entitled ‘๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ’ – are we preparing our learners for the dramatic changes they will experience during this season of their lives?
Union extends its ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ to all the educators who so willingly gave of their time to attend these sessions, as well as to Gavin Keller, for making the trip down from Cape Town to ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ and ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ our teachers to the benefit of our learners!
