Dear Families, 

Thank you to our P&F committee for hosting the Mother’s Day stalls last week. And, CONGRATULATIONS to all our prize winners of the raffle. So many wonderful gifts were donated for the hampers.  

Tomorrow we also acknowledge and celebrate Education Support Staff Day! Our Admin and classroom support staff and key personnel in making sure each and every child is supported at our school. 

Staff Professional Development: Enhancing Teaching Practices

Our dedicated staff have recently participated in several professional development programs to enhance their teaching practices and better support our students.

Compass Training

Members of our leadership team engaged in comprehensive training with Compass Education, focusing on effective use of the school's management software. The program included modules on attendance tracking, reporting, and communication tools, ensuring staff are proficient in utilising the system to its full potential.

Mathematics Learning with Consultant James Dobson

Our teachers collaborated with consultant James Dobson to refine instructional strategies. James, known for his expertise in explicit teaching and Direct Instruction, provided insights into effective numeracy instruction. His approach emphasises structured lessons and targeted interventions, aiming to improve student outcomes in mathematics. 

Berry Street Education Model Training

We have selected teachers participating in the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) training, focusing on trauma-informed teaching strategies. The BSEM framework offers practical tools to support students' emotional and behavioral needs, fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. This training aligns with our commitment to holistic student development and well-being.

These professional development opportunities reflect our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality education and support to our students.

Yours sincerely, 

Christine Cole

From the 30th of April to the 2nd of May, our Grade 4 students embarked on an unforgettable adventure at Billabong Ranch.

Over three fun-filled days, they took part in a wide variety of exciting activities. Students had the opportunity to groom horses, ride camels, challenge themselves on the ropes course, enjoy pedal boating, and watch the entertaining Stockman Show.

With team-building games and plenty of laughs along the way, it was a memorable experience full of fun, friendship, and new opportunities.
