VP 9: Principal For A Day
This week’s question was “If you were Principal for a day what would you do to help improve the way students learn?” I thought this might be a tough question and that I’d need to rephrase it, so it did change slightly when I was actually recording the episode. It became “If you were Principal for a day what would you change to make school a better place to learn?”
The kids had some really good suggestions. Click on the player below to hear what they were!

I reckon its good. If i was principal for a day i’d make longer lunches, while doing work listen to music, NO health and more food in the canteen.
and only have maths for half an hour a day.
