Governor Participates in Teach for A Day Initiative at ESHS

As part of Education Month, Governor Daniel Pruce of the territory embraced the opportunity to engage in the Department for Education’s Teach for A Day initiative.

Stepping into the shoes of an educator, he joined Ms. Sylvanna Charles’ Grade 9 class at Elmore Stoutt High School for a session centered around the works of English poet Rupert Brooke.

Governor Pruce facilitated a discussion on Rupert Brooke’s poetry, inviting young minds to delve into themes and interpretations.

Reflecting on the experience, the Governor expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, highlighting its significance in shaping the educational landscape and fostering community engagement. He remarked, “This is a way to give people an opportunity to contribute to the school curriculum, and help invest in the future of the Territory.”

Impressed by the enthusiasm and inquisitiveness of the Grade 9 pupils, the Governor commended their active participation and questions. He added, “I enjoyed my session with the Grade 9 pupils – a group with some questions.”

The Teach for A Day initiative not only provided a platform for community leaders to connect with students but also underscored the collective commitment towards nurturing an educational environment.
