Curriculum Day - Berry Street Education Model

The curriculum day on Friday was a great day of learning for our staff. This was the third day of our Berry Street Education Model training. The Berry Street Education Model is about supporting students to be at school ready to learn. We all know that many of our students can experience anxiety, can have a difficult day at home or other issues that can make it difficult for them to concentrate at school. It could be as simple as having a bad night's sleep.  Berry Street provides us with ideas and curriculum activities that support the emotional health and wellbeing of our students. This incorporates ideas including Growth Mindset, Mindfulness, Brain Breaks and just Being Ready to Learn. 

3 Way Conferences

Our 3 way conference bookings are still open please take a look on Compass or contact the office to make a booking. We believe that the home school partnership is important to support our students learning and would like to meet with all parents.

Reading at Home

One of our important aims is to help our students achieve in reading. We do this in conjunction with home as the research tells us that the best success for learning happens when home and school work together. We know that many students find reading challenging and that can make it difficult to encourage them to read at home. If this is the case with your child please speak to the classroom teacher and they will be able to help with strategies. We also reward reading through our reading certificates and rewards, in order to be able to do this it is important that reading is written in the student diaries as a record. Older students are able to write it in themselves and parents simply initial their reading. We would appreciate your support in encouraging your child to read and bring their diary to school so that we can keep track of their reading.

Exciting Term

We have started our Transition program for our future preps and our grade 6's are looking forward to graduation. While we still have a lot of learning to do in our classrooms we have other exciting events happening this term including camps, excursions and swimming. Please keep an eye on the calendar for any events that may be coming up.

Have a great week everyone.
