Focus on Learning

Team Building 

A very important part of our philosophy at St Edward's is having high expectations for all students.  Conveying this to students occurs in several ways. The most obvious and powerful is through the development of positive relationships between teachers and students. Over the first two weeks of school, our students have been engaging in team building activities. These tasks provide our students with the opportunity to learn together, communicate clearly, think creatively and listen carefully. In addition to this, it also allow students and teachers the chance to get to know each other, build trust as a class group and best of all have some fun!

Parent / Teacher Interviews

You will have an opportunity to meet your child's teacher and discuss goals and expectations at upcoming Parent / Teacher Interviews being scheduled for Week 4 - 17th - 21st February (Years 1 - 6).  Kindergarten Parent / Teacher Interviews will occur in Week 6 (2nd - 6th March).  Please make an effort to come along as it is imperative that school and home work together to improve the academic, social and emotional outcomes for our children.

School Literacy Block

Could we please ask that we have minimum interruptions to the students learning. This includes not making medical appointments etc between 9:00am and 11:00am (School Literacy Block).

For afternoon arrangements, we ask that you make these with your child before school. We have many students coming up during the day to find out their afternoon routine. This disrupts the flow of their learning, as well as making the office an even busier place.

If you are collecting your child during the day, please send in a note to the teacher, and come to the office to sign your child out. There is no need for a phone call to the school.

We thank you for your understanding in these matters, and look forward to a fabulous year with your children.
