Classroom Systems

This week, students across the school will begin to share their classroom matrix and buzz awards with you.   The process of creating classroom expectations and routines has involved negotiation between students and their teachers.   You will notice that your child's classroom matrix reflects our whole school matrix values; Learning, Respect, Resilience and Teamwork. The settings within each class are; 'whole group learning, small group learning, transitions, independent learning and when I need assistance'.  Next week, we will provide a brief survey for parents/carers via XUNO to measure how students have communicated the process to their families. 

Congratulations to all year levels for their high level of collaboration, decision-making and negotiation skills as they have developed fair and realistic expectations that are observable, measurable, positively stated and clear.

Classroom Systems aims to improve: 

• student behaviour through consistency and explicitly stated behaviour
• academic achievement and individual student outcomes
• student engagement and increased time on task for students and teachers by minimising classroom disruptions
• wellbeing of students, and
• student voice.

Lunchtime Clubs - A Menu of Choices

Lunchtime Clubs is a strong builder of social and emotional learning skills as students with shared interests connect with children from other grades and year levels.  They really enjoy having a menu of choices about how they may spend their unstructured time.  Clubs is also one of the many contributing factors that builds a sense of belonging for children in a positive school community.

Clubs start at the beginning of lunchtime and finish at 2.05pm.  This means that students still have a chance to enjoy unstructured time outdoors.  

Here is our most recent timetable that is promoted in all classrooms.
