Well the first semester has flown by and the Senior Young Men’s class has had a very productive year thus far. Attendance in our class has been good and all the boys are showing varying levels of improvement in numeracy and literacy which is great to see.
The highlight for a number of our boys was the Clontarf trip to Brisbane where they all had a great experience. It was great to be able to reward a couple of the older boys in Ryan Warlapinni and Ricky Tipiloura for some excellent behavior, by allowing them to go on this trip and act as mentors for the younger boys.
The semester culminated this week with the Territory Cup for the Senior Young Men. Hopefully when you read this newsletter the boys will have had a successful and enjoyable tournament.
It is with some sadness that I have to announce my farewell from Tiwi College and teaching the Senior Young Men. I have had an enjoyable time teaching these boys and will miss them very much. I’d like to thank Patty Heenan for all of his help so far this year and being an excellent young role model for these boys. I’m confident that the boys are in good hands with Patty continuing on at the College next semester. Thank you to all for making me feel so welcome and all the best for the future!
