My Level 2 Students had a celebration BBQ to celebrate a successful completion and prize giving from their course.
One of the students organised a fantastic BBQ with food and drinks. I presented my students with their prize hoodies and it was a fantastic evening…
When I look back on what these guys overcame during their course and yet we came together as a team and took the obstacles in our stride. This class went from being a standard face to face – meet in person – class to Pandemic Prizewinners using technology to the max and passing with high marks. I am so proud of them!!
Our celebration BBQ evening was filled with joy; laughter; happiness and pride. Way to go SHBSL Level 2, we didn’t just do it, we excelled.
My class, the students, excelled.
They say that the best thing about being a teacher is that it matters. My teaching always matters to me, I love what I do, I love inspiring others to love it too. We had lockdowns, we had restrictions – but we had passion… We were cornered and we didn’t just fight back, we adapted, we grew and we overcame it – we found great new ways to communicate; to practice; to socialise and to create a positive learning environment. Zoom became our new classroom; the internet became our most valuable resource; Whatsapp was a mainstay – other new resources were utilised and trialled.
You know what?? I am so grateful. I am grateful to have adapted in my teaching, to have learnt with them the best ways to overcome adversity and excel. This class hasn’t just learnt and earnt a certificate, they have conquered with honours and they can’t wait to take it further. Nothing is going to stop them.
For me – in 19 years of teaching this has been the biggest achievement of my career and I am so very proud of them and I have to say, myself. We did it!!! The marks were the best I have seen, several of them being above 30 out of 40. Needless to say they are champing at the bit to take it to the next level.
