Initiatives + Programs

CURRICULUM DAY: On Monday we held our second Curriculum Day for the year.  All staff completed a refresher course on the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) provides strategies for teaching and learning that enables teachers to increase engagement of students with complex, unmet learning needs and to successfully improve all students’ self-regulation, relationships, well-being, growth and academic achievement.

The BSEM pedagogical strategies incorporate trauma-informed teaching, positive education, and well-being practices. All staff have been fully trained in the BSEM model and implement well-being practices into the school day, including a whole class morning meeting to ensuring students are ‘ready to learn’. The key concepts of BSEM are regularly revisited and ensure teachers are implementing evidence-based strategies for engagement and support.

SCHOOL PRODUCTION: Recently Chrissy Jedrys (Performing Arts) announced the year 5 + 6 School Production of 'Peter Pan'.  The performance is scheduled to take place in term 3 during August.  Students have already started auditioning for key roles.  Parents are welcome to assist with the preparation as this is a major event.  

NAPLAN: Our year 3 + 5 students are participating in NAPLAN assessments. We are mid way through the process.  The students use ipads to complete the set assessments.
