Biz - E - Kidz Update

From Libby, Biz-E-Kidz coordinator

Results are in!

Biz-E-Kidz Molesworth St Campus has received the result of our Quality Assessment and Rating visit. We are happy to announce that we have been rated by the Department of Education as ‘Meeting’ the National Quality Standard in all 7 Quality Areas. To not be recognised as Exceeding the Quality Standard in any areas was unexpected, but it has given us lots of guidance for continuous improvement. More on that below!

We have hired two new Educators since the last newsletter - welcome Declan, who is studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood and Primary Education, and welcome Jules, who is a Psychology graduate and also is studying Primary teaching, and - more excitingly - is an ex-Biz-E-Kid!!! P.E. Mark was his grade 1 teacher and Jules surprised him by saying hi during his PE class.

Seeking feedback and suggestions for improvement is something that has always been tricky for us as our Biz-E-Kidz families are very busy! However, we have launched a new initiative which we are excited to announce. Every couple of weeks we will have a new topic that we are seeking feedback on. Of course, we welcome feedback and suggestions on any topic at any time, but we thought perhaps giving a prompt would help get you thinking. At our sign-out area, we have a poster displayed with a QR code that leads to an anonymous online Google form when you scan it with your phone camera. This fortnight we would love to hear your suggestions for activities, games, experiences, areas of learning, etc. for our upcoming Winter Holiday Program, or before / after school care.Please follow the link below to our anonymous Google Form - thank you very much! Keep posted in the next NMPS News for our next feedback topic.
