Literacy & Numeracy Intervention Update 

We have commenced our second intervention block, which will run for a total of 15 weeks and conclude mid-Term 3. This numeracy and literacy intervention is for students in Grades 1 and 2.  Selected students have been attending one hour of targeted, small group learning sessions twice a week for either literacy or numeracy.

Parents and carers of students in Grades 1 and 2 who are currently participating in the program will receive an update on their child's learning at the end of Week 8.

Literacy - Our small group literacy sessions focus on building our students' understanding of phonics. Phonics is a way of teaching reading and writing by connecting sounds with letters or groups of letters. Phonic skills help children understand how letters link to sounds in spoken language and how those letters work together to form words.

Numeracy - Our small group numeracy sessions focus on building whole number knowledge, the foundation for mathematics. Developing numeracy skills early gives children an important foundation for their learning and development. It helps prepare them for daily life, including general problem-solving and handling money.
