Leadership Centre

Curriculum

Term 3 is quickly coming to a close but the adventures continue as we prepare for a fantastic week with our Family Night and a range of engaging Literacy and Numeracy activities. Students enjoyed celebrating the success of the production and quickly bounced back after a few late nights performing. 

Overall, it has been an outstanding and action-packed term as we realised when completing our Term Reflections. Students had the opportunity to reflect on the progress made in their learning goals, identify highlights from the last 9 weeks and recognise the character strengths that they have used in the classroom. A common highlight for many students was our class novel, Nevermoor, which has swept students up into a fantasy world so engaging that we have already planned to read the sequel next term.

For Literacy and Numeracy Week, 5/6 students have been busy preparing a lesson for the 3/4 students to teach them a maths skill and give them a taste of what it is like to learn in the Leadership Centre. It has been impressive to see students incorporate the lesson structure and language that we use in classrooms as it highlights their deep understanding. We look forward to getting to deliver our lessons to the Independence Centre this week and know that the students teaching and listening will find it a valuable learning experience. 

Hooptime was a highlight for many students this week as they learnt

new skills from the umpires and had the opportunity to play short basketball games against other schools. Thank you to Mrs. Brisbane, Mrs. Sonsie, Mrs. Naismith, Miss Kirkwood and Karen for their fantastic coaching skills and making it such a fabulous day!

It was great to get to play so many basketball games with my friends and work on my skills! - Tarek

I'm excited to teach different things in our 3/4 Maths lessons because we all learn new things more by teaching others. -Anais
