Learning and Teaching

Graduate Outcome Awards

Last week, students from each class in F-6 were presented with FAITH Graduate Outcome Awards.

Students who graduate from St Therese’s Primary School are people of FAITH, who are respectful and inclusive of all and live out the Gospel values.

Our next award will be on the Graduate Outcome of HOPE.

HOPE:

We believe in ourselves and our ability to grow and improve
We stay positive, even when facing challenges
We set goals for the future and work hard to achieve them
We encourage others to keep going and not give up
We look for solutions instead of focusing on problems
We learn from mistakes and see them as opportunities to grow
We celebrate progress and look forward to new opportunities

Our next assembly will be on Wednesday, June 24th at 2:30pm in the St Therese's Church. Awards for Faith will be presented at this assembly.

Continuing to Celebrate Great Teaching at St. Therese's

There has been so much to celebrate in our classrooms recently, with our teachers continuing to collaborate in ways that strengthen the way we support student learning.

Through StepLab, staff are taking part in short classroom 'drop-ins', where leaders and teachers notice effective practice and provide focussed feedback. These are simple, regular opportunities to learn from one another and to keep building consistency across our school.

We are proud to share that our school has been recognised as a stand out school within our diocese for the quality of our drop-in feedback between staff, and the strong systems we have in place for peer feedback.

This is a wonderful reflection of our staff and their openness to continual improvement. Our teachers are supported to reflect, share ideas and strengthen their practice, and this is how their impact in the classroom really grows. Our students are the ones who really benefit from this hard work, and we could not be more impressed with the way our teachers go about their work, knowing better and doing better.

Mid- Year Reports

Semester 1 reports will be available to families from 22 June.

These reports provide an important opportunity to share your child’s learning progress, achievements and areas for continued growth.

Our teachers put great care, thought and discernment into preparing this feedback, drawing on what they know about each child as a learner and the progress they have made across the semester.

We encourage families to take time to read the report and celebrate the effort, growth and learning reflected within it.
