TEACHING AND LEARNING

Staff have been teaching students how to show our school Value of the Week of Responsibility by teaching classroom expectations, procedures and routines which include:

We line up when the music is playing at 8:50am, the end of recess and the end of lunch.
We enter the classroom in a safe and orderly fashion
We listen to and follow teacher instructions.

It’s been great to see the children meeting our high expectations, with almost every student wearing a hat outside.

MEET THE TEACHER CONVERSATIONS

At the beginning of each year we provide time for parents/carers to meet with teachers and discuss their child’s learning. The conversations will be held on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th February. Parents/carers will receive a Compass notification on Monday 9th February at 4pm with information about how to book a time. Please note the meetings are a ten-minute conversation. If you require additional time, this can be arranged at another time that is suitable for both parents/carers and teachers.
