17th Annual Nanga Mai Awards
On Wednesday the IEF gave Toby and Nicholas a graduation extravaganza. We welcomed Ms. Bright, Ms. Archer and parents and friends, then the IEF performed their dance, Levitating. They had been practicing the dance with their Maccabi funded dance teacher Gabi Green and planned to have her lead at the Graduation. Gabi emailed that she has tested positive for Covid so we asked Evan Ryk to lead the students in the dance. Evan was magnificent and led the IEF through the dance beautifully. Next were speeches, then a trip down memory lane with images from the past 6 years on a Power Point, then the Graduation signed bears and the cutting of the cake. The Year 12 Year Advisors spoke and handed the graduates the yearbook and certificates. The big surprise was Santa who brought gifts for all, then IEF students sat down for a farewell feast. It was unanimous, Toby and Nicholas will be missed by all but we know that they are going on to bigger things.
This morning we enjoyed the year 12 celebratory breakfast. A sincere thank you to the Food Tech team for catering the beautiful, yummy spread of food which was presented with sophistication and elegance!
The year 12 students were buzzing with excitement and beaming with pride. We are so proud of the Cohort and their results!
Is it time to consider career options post-high school? How about teaching?
Teaching is a rewarding career that opens up a number of different pathways. When studying teaching, students can be supported financially and experience what teaching is like firsthand while completing practicum placements.
Teachers can explore a range of different subject areas and work in a number of locations across the state, including schools in rural and remote NSW that offer additional benefits and incentives. They also benefit from a competitive graduate salary and mentoring and support from experienced colleagues.
On the NSW Education website you can explore the benefits of a teaching career, use our how-to guide to become a teacher or watch stories of current teachers in NSW public schools.
You can also find additional information about scholarship programs which provide students with financial support while studying and a full-time permanent teaching position on graduation.
Teaching is not only an option for school leavers, but can also open doors for university students, career changers and teachers from other systems or states. Find out how teaching can open doors for you.
