Dear Families,
We hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend.
Last Friday our teaching staff participated in some Professional Development with Dr Nathaniel Swain. He is a teacher, instructional coach, researcher and writer who specialises in Learning Sciences and Learner Engagement.
He was excellent and has reinvigorated our passion about language, literacy and learning, and effective and engaging teaching for all students. This work compliments our commitment implementing strong literacy practices in all classrooms.
