Dear Families,

Hope you are having a lovely week. 

 

Foundation 2024

We had our Session Three of transition for Foundation 2025. The students had a wonderful time playing together, singing, and listening to the story "Green Eggs and Ham." They loved the rhyming words! It was lovely to see parents enjoying morning tea together as well.

 

Planning Day

Our Professional Development Day on Monday with presenter Kate Korber was excellent. We focused on effective feedback and how we are implementing it in the classroom with our students, along with an in-depth exploration of the Inquiry Process. The session also provided valuable insights into cognitive load theory and strategies for fostering critical and creative thinking. Thank you to our amazing staff for their participation and enthusiasm!
