Learning and Curriculum Primary - Stage 3

Welcome Back! 

Welcome to Term 3 where we have hit the ground running (literally) with our House Athletics Carnival today. Thank you to Mr Locke for his organisation of such a well-loved event.  

As we begin a new semester, students are encouraged to reflect on the feedback they received in their Semester 1 report and during their Parent/Teacher Interviews and to set goals accordingly. 

On Monday this week, staff attended the EREA Network Day where we had the opportunity to hear from keynote speakers and work with colleagues from several schools to share best practice regarding boys' education. A key takeaway was the significance of the relationships that boys form around the age of 12. It is important that boys feel connected to the key people in their life as this is a key factor in students developing positive self-esteem moving forward.  

This term, we look forward to connecting with families on a number of occasions including at our annual Book Parade, Grandparent’s Day, Father’s Day Mass and open classroom events. Further details and dates will be communicated in future Especean articles.
