Learning & Teaching

Our key idea for Term One is Identity with a curriculum focus for Prep - Year 2 on History, Years 3 & 4 on Civics and Citizenship and Years 5 & 6 on History. 

We are looking forward to sharing our learning with you!

Parent Term One Overviews will be sent home next week via Dojo.

Key Dates for Learning & Teaching in Term One 2024:

• School Closure Day - Monday 5th February. Our staff will be participating in the Berry Street Program on this day.

• NAPLAN - 13th - 25th March for our Year 3 & 5 students

Assessments

Our teaching staff may not be in the classroom in the coming weeks. They will be released to work one-on-one, with our students, assessing their reading capabilities, in the coming weeks. Our students will also complete their PAT Reading and Maths, online, assessment later in Term One. 

Our classroom teachers will use this data to plan classroom learning programs that target our students specific point of need, within the areas of English and Mathematics.

Assembly will be held each Friday at 2:30pm in the school hall. All dates for Assembly this term are on the Holy Spirit School Calendar.
