Principal's Message

We are now well into Term 3, with students deeply engaged in their integrated curriculum learning, and making strong progress towards achieving their personal Literacy and Maths goals. At ARPS, all students develop their own personal learning goals with support and data provided from their classroom teacher, and from our Intervention, Tutoring and High Abilities teacher leaders where appropriate.

For most students, their personal learning goals are revised as part of their learning cycle, at least every 5 weeks (and often more frequently). For many students, their ‘Ninja Maths’ goals are referred to at least once a week, and feedback is provided to students about their progress towards the number skills they are developing. Similarly, students have individual goals for Writing (often linked to our VCOP approach), Reading and Social skills development. 

Parents and carers are encouraged to communicate with teachers to celebrate and support each child’s efforts and progress as they work towards achieving personal learning goals.

School Council

School Council is still seeking a parent member for a casual vacancy. Members of School council provide a vital conduit to the parent community and allow School Council to make informed decisions about programs, policies and facilities with strong input form our parent community. I encourage any member of our parent community who would like to consider joining School Council, to please come and speak to me about it or call the school office.
