Teachers are learners too

At OBHS Teachers often encourage students to try things which are beyond their comfort zone.

Maybe it’s trying a new sport, extending themselves in the classroom or auditioning for the school Production. 

Then we have the students who push Teachers to try something new!

Last weekend Mikko Johnston and his family took Dr Thomas under their wing to try Autocross with the Otago Sports Car Club. It was an eventful day; a paddock fire was averted and after 3 goes, Dr Thomas finally found the correct route around the track.

Next steps…staff vs students, autocross as a tournament sport?
