Teaching and Learning

Bounceback and student agency
Now that students are back for face to face teaching and learning they have been engaged in developing social skills as a class group though our Bounceback program, developing their skills to work well in a class group and navigate the social challenges of friendship groups, resilience, co operation etc.
Students have also been an important part of developing their learning spaces with the teachers so that they have real ownership of their classroom spaces. Initial assessments in literacy and numeracy have begun in order to inform differentiated and targeted teaching for the wide range of abilities and getting to know you activities support teachers to personalise learning to make it as engaging and fun as they can.
Specialist Lessons
Visual Art
All hands on deck as we move into hands on art activities! We are exploring colour and line through printing and crayon wash resist and collage in R-3. Sculpture for the red building and drawing skills for the blue building who are learning about vanishing point and one point perspective. We are all learning new art vocabulary and working in small groups and pairs to share ideas and what we know. Here are some students engaged in the art room.
Indigenous Language and Culture
This year we will also be developing an Indigenous Language and Culture room and aim to connect with Indulkana Anangu School in the APY Lands to provide extended language and cultural learning opportunities through first nations educators. We aim to connect with families to develop this space. Please contact Kayleen Wilson or Danny Ellis in the first instance for more information.
