  1. Unit Two Where will the road lead us?

  2. A new opportunity... • A new teacher... A new opportunity! • Consider your ‘slate’ wiped clean – that is if you maybe didn't achieve as well as you may have liked, this is your chance to change that as I have no preconceived thoughts on who you are or how you may achieve! • So that means, have a go and start fresh! • No doubt my teaching will be a little different but I still have similar expectations from you!

  3. A little about me... • I graduated from Uni of Ballarat last year and I teach O.Ed, PE & Health • Originally I’m from Horsham (in western Vic) • I play footy & love being in the outdoors • Now... A little about you! • To help me remember everyone I want you to think of something unique about yourself – It could be something no-one else knows about you!

  4. The Website • As a trial this term, I have created a website for students to use. • This website is located at www.mrargallonline.weebly.com • It contains everything we cover in class week by week, all sheets needed, important info, announcements and Homework Tasks – which are like your journals, just a bit different
