Learning and Curriculum Primary - Stage 3

In our Week 2 Especean article we spoke about the students bursting through the gates to commence either their first or second year here at SPC. How time flies! Much has been achieved so far in terms of the learning inside and outside of the classroom. As we enter the final two weeks of Term 1, there is an opportunity for students to review habits and reflect on their Term 1 learning goals. In speaking with students, the diary is a great resource to be organised on a daily basis, including the information and tips contained within. Weeks 10 and 11 have some great tips to really maximise learning time and ignore the many distractions that we all face in our day to day.  

There are several assessment tasks due or will take place before the term ends. We continue to remind students to effectively use their College diary, read announcements and use their class time effectively. Of course, what underpins being and feeling successful is to continue to actively participate in all that the College has to offer and be organized ready to learn and grow each school day.  

Class Spotlight 

I have enjoyed Visual Art this term. You can use your imagination and be creative. We are making a national bird a totem pole and you can customize it with how you want it to look. Aiden A

I have really enjoyed Music this term. We have been learning about notes and how to read them. Jacob S 

I have enjoyed my library lessons this term because I have added words to my vocabulary and also enjoy borrowing and reading books each week. Kai N

I am currently reading “The World's Worst children” by David Walliams and I am loving it because of the humour. Matthew N  

Library during Before School and at Lunchtime 

It is great to see so many students utilise Westcourt Library to read, play chess, catch up on homework or assessment tasks.  

I use time at lunch to work on any homework tasks to maximise the time I have at home with my family. Alex V 

Coming into the library at lunchtime is great. I sometimes play chess with my friend Jacob. Matteo V

Playing chess in the library at lunch is fun because its competitive and makes our brains think better. James G, Brody A, Max C
