Hey,... it's JUNE 2016 !!

Ba-Ha',... June and the end of an era

   Just checking in with a 'transitional' comment regarding my point of departure from a 24 year career in teaching to my new career in the retirement sector.

   Here are some pictorial testaments of a few shenanigans and delirious carrying- on's from the Art department at Northview and beyond.

   We've had some great guffaw's and gut wrenching groans of laughter over the years and I feel very proud of having delivered a sustainable visual arts curriculum with my treasured colleagues, we've had a wonderful exchange.
