Principal's Message

Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Staff,

What a wonderful Term 3 we've had! It's hard to believe that we are at the end of another term!

Leading Instructional Excellence

Our school values the learning and development of our staff, and the positive impacts this has on student outcomes and school improvement. I’m pleased to share that Dean Squires and I recently successfully completed Leading Instructional Excellence at the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership.

This evidence-informed program strengthened our capacity to lead the implementation of explicit teaching across the school. 

Some of the key knowledge that we are bringing back to share with colleagues includes:

• strategies to maximise student attention, focus and regulation
• increased awareness around models of memory, and how to support students to more easily retain their new knowledge
• proven approaches to support our staff to align their teaching with the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0.

We look forward to implementing the knowledge and skills from the program to continue to support student outcomes and wellbeing.

Have a great holiday,

Joanna Uzunovski

Principal
