Virtual LearnPacathon 2020

In October 2019 we ran a LearnPacathon with attendees competing to produce LearnPath Guides. It was received so well that this year we decided to bring it online!

We received so many fantastic entries full of creativity and thought, and our judges faced a very difficult task in choosing a winner. Up for grabs was a one year subscription to KiwiCo!

Congratulations to Mount St. Joseph Girls’ College, who have taken home this year’s prize with their Junior Reading Program guide.

Honourable mentions go to Orewa College for their Year 8 Novel Suggestions guide.

Sydney Japanese International School for their guide “First Contacts”.

And Sacred Heart Primary School Mildura with “Gold Rush”.

Congratulations to our winner and all of the entrants for their fantastic effort!
