Welcome and overall learning summary

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all the new families who have recently joined and welcome back all our familiar faces. Term Two was full of rich learning opportunities that demonstrated the students’ fabulous growth mindsets and resilience that concluded with Semester One reports. 

Term Three has already hit the ground running with high quality of teaching and learning happening across the cohort. This term we will commence Literature Circle, a reading structure that encourages higher level of thinking skills, as part of our weekly reading program. Students will form reading groups based on their reading interest, select a role that requires a specific reading strategy/ies, read and discuss the book within the group. We look forward to sharing more about Literature Circle in the near future.

The Year Five Team,

Peter Shen, Kimberley Stevenson, Sue Lane, Lindy Tran, Samantha Rich and Stacey Shi
