Standard Seven ReflectionThis standard has been ongoing with my placement and internship. I have required to read many documents regarding policies and responsibilities whilst at my placement school and will need to follow this further in beginning with a new school in 2019.Throughout Term 3 I organised a Pre Primary excursion to Caves House. This was an owners task involving initial liaison with the other Pre Primary staff to decided mutually on a location and action plan for the excursion. I have also had to seek permission from the administration team and complete any forms and legal requirements for taking students off the school campus. This excursion also involved booking a bus, and directly writing to Caves House owners to request our visit and activities to be included. The owners and I developed a very good rapport and they were eager and excited to have our schools pre primary students visit. This excursion included a tour of the grounds and gardens, inside the building and a beautiful Devonshire tea. I had to organise the legal requirements of seeking permission also from each student before the day, and looking at medical conditions to ensure we catered and correctly prepared for the day.This excursion was a perfect day, with no issues, happy students and great feedback from the owners at Caves House on their behaviour. I had checklists of both pre primary classrooms and ticked off students on and off the bus. All legal and organisational responsibilities were left to me, with my mentor closely behind me to ensure all was correct and in place. This was a great day, and I feel my previous experience as a school

officer allowed me to have insight and a little prior knowledge into some of the areas involved in preparation of this excursion.

For future learning and development in this area I would like to ensure I am across all of the policies and procedures for the new school I will be teaching at in 2019. This will begin with reading Code of Conducts, and their school policies.
