Principle Time!!!
If I was to become the principle of Oruait school I would shorten the school hours to 4 hours and remove morning tea, there would be some cons to come out of it like it would be harder for parents to organize pick-ups from buss stops and things like that, on the other hand we have the prose which are, we get more time to refresh our brains for the next day, it would give teachers more personal time since they can organize the next days learning earlier and have to do less organizing for the next day. Also, if we remove 30 minute breaks but remove 60 minutes that means we will have 30 extra minutes of learning (is that how it works). Next I would add more verity for the students (this is assuming there is a large budget), this would boost most of the students moods since they would be excited for the next day. Then I would organize a tech room that allowed students of all backgrounds to experiencing a variety of things like: virtual reality, computers and augmented reality devices. This would allow them to have an out-of-body experience like being able to travel that world with google earth, create animations with the computers and render their creations in the real world. It would be awesome for kids to experiment although this would cost a lot of money which is the perfect transition for my next idea. Finally, to account for the money we could enter competitions host competitions and have bake sales market days etc. That’s what I would do, Thank you for reading.

Hi Charlie, this is Zana from the summer learning journey. Great to read your post you have some very interesting ideas and I see you have considered student, parent and teacher perspectives on your ideas. The use of different technology in schools would be great and having those devices in schools would benefit learning over many subjects. If you were to cut the hours down from 6 to 4 how would you make up for the lost learning time? Would the students be required to do extra homework at home?
