Time travel is, I am sure, possible...it is hard to believe a week has gone by!
Say hello/Say goodby, exciting times and sad times...our students arrive and all too soon have to return home. I had the pleasure of speaking to a group of Spanish Teachers earlier this week - I am always amazed at the language skills and dedication that our students demonstrate - we spent an interesting couple of hours at the excellent Dots Pantry enjoying a coffee and talking about their future plans and how much impact the experience of their time here as Teaching Assistants has had on them. It is so motivating to see and hear first hand the difference that TTPL makes.
One of our weekly highlights is the student meeting...almost 70 students enjoyed the sunshine at Applebys in Torquay - what a fabulous afternoon.
It is a vital time for both the students and the team at TTPL as it is one of the few times when all students come together to meet and chat, an opportunity for us to ensure that everything is ok and that any potential problems are resolved. It is also a great time to make sure that wherever possible we support the work placements that host some of our students.
To finish off the week Nadine and I went to the Torbay Business Forum at The Grand...an interesting event that was very entertaining - Giles Chichester, a man who has helped us in the past, was guest speaker, what a fascinating insight into the European Parliament. Good to catch up with friends from the Torbay business community too.
So I am looking forward to the weekend and hope you are too...on a personal note this weekend sees something of a milestone for me...on Sunday I will have been 100 days without a cigarette! Feel quite pleased with myself.
See you all next week
Ciao for now :0)
