Book Fair - Thank You

Thank you to everyone for supporting our book fair. It was a great success and amazing to see so many of our students excited and passionate about their reading. As a result of our sales, the school has earned $827.00 to spend on books and other items for our library and STEM room. We will be purchasing new novels and class sets for our students to read in class. Thank you again for all of your support.

Power of Positive Thinking in Maths 

Mathematics learning can sometimes trigger a negative response in adults. This is often due to how they were taught and the beliefs they have around mathematics. The way families and teachers view mathematics influences student engagement and success in mathematics. In mathematics, students who think they cannot do mathematics are most often unsuccessful, whereas those who have a positive mindset and recognise that mathematics can be challenging are more likely to persevere and succeed. 

The importance of teachers and families working together to ensure high expectations and positive attitudes toward mathematics in and beyond school for all learners should not be underestimated. We need to actively encourage opportunities to ‘see’, ‘do’, and ‘talk about’ mathematical activities and examples of mathematics in our world to develop positive attitudes toward mathematics in teachers, students and families. 

How do you feel about maths? What language are you using with your child when engaging in or talking about maths?
