MATHS LEARNING

  

Over the last two years we have had MATHS as a focus. Our staff have attended various PD facilitated by Leonie Anstey who have been working on building their teaching capacity in Maths teaching and improving student outcomes.

After reviewing the current practices in place for Maths, the staff decided that student outcomes in Maths will continue to improve if students were taught in class groups not stages. Therefore, Maths Kinder to Year 6 will now be taught in class groups not stage groups. 

 

We had planned to have Leonie work with Parents, students and staff last year but COVID changed that. Hence, we have booked Leonie for two days on 19th & 20th April. Leonie will also facilitate a parent meeting on the evening of 19th April. We will let you know more details as the time draws nearer. Please put this date aside and we look forward to seeing you all there.
