HEAR FROM A HOST PRINCIPAL

β€œHaving Graeme Wiggins, Director of the Bendigo Tech School immersed in our school for the day created a unique and rich opportunity. Students took advantage of his knowledge and experience in design thinking, pedagogy and space and to talk with him about our own STEAM program and vision for inquiry learning across our school. This was my first experience in the Principal For A Day program and I would highly recommend it to other school Principals thinking of taking part.”
