Merry Christmas and Thank you from Glennis
Dear students and families
I can’t believe we are near the end of the 2019 school year! When I look back on the year, each term and every week, it is hard to believe how much we have accomplished as a school community.
One of our many focus areas for the year 2019 was improving student outcomes in reading. Through the year, our staff have engaged in Action Research Projects, Professional Learning onsite and off site, we have been a part of a large project with a focus on Oral Language, we have analysed student data, set targets and measured and reflected on our practice. Our teachers are lifelong learners and we at St Anthony’s are always evaluating what we do, how and why we do it!
Our students have flourished this year in their learning. They have engaged in a variety of learning experiences that they will carry with them into the future. Our reading data has shown that most of our students are making the expected growth for the year. This is a real celebration for us as a school as we have strived hard to drive this improvement for our students. I feel immensely proud and privileged to be part of this outstanding school community that is so committed to growing our students!
I take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, encouragement and trust in our work. May the joys, blessings and love of the Christmas Season be with you all.
