Around the school this week
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
We took some lovely photos of our students on Day 1.
Everyone looking happy and ready to enjoy the new school year.





SWIMMING CARNIVAL
Our swimming carnival was held last Thursday night and we managed to complete all of the events except the 100m freestyle. Then the storm started!





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.
