Curriculum Cupboard Resources
The curriculum cupboard will be open every Monday (8:15 - 8:45 am) and Wednesday (2 - 2:30 pm) for staff to borrow classroom resources. Please contact the Therapy Team if you need access to resources outside of these times.
Climbing Gym & OT Rooms 1 & 2
Please do not access the OT Rooms unless you have consulted one of our OTs, have undergone a short induction with the therapist, and have a booking in place.
Please email one of our Occupational Therapists: Tinas (tinas.wong@education.vic.gov.au) if you would like to book a slot for your classroom to access either of these spaces.
Please note that new staff who need to support students in these spaces must complete a short induction with the OTs. Please contact the OTs if you have not completed this training.
SPOTBites Weekly Activities
Please look out for a weekly email from our Allied Health Assistant, Angela Psiroukis, regarding the Therapy Team's weekly activities for students. The sign-up sheet for the activity packs will be released every Monday, 8am, in the main staff room.
Mini Woolies Program
In Term 1, classrooms may book a time to visit our Mini Woolies outlet in our 2024 Music Room space, via Resource Booking on SharePoint. Students may partake in virtual shooping visits. If you would like to attend our Mini Woolies for the first time, please email either Tinas, Cassy or Angela to demonstrate how these visits can run, including how to operate the Woolies registers.
From Term 2, in collaboration with the SAKG Curriculum Team, we hope to enhance our students' Mini Woolies experiences. We intend to incorporate shopping visits for specific SAKG recipe items. Watch this space!
