A Look at Learning

 READING SPRINTS…….…

By the end of 2022 it is a goal of the school and the Diocese that 80% of our students reach their age appropriate PM Benchmarks. Already, at the beginning of Term 2, we have over 40% of our students at their goal!!  

To enhance the learning and the outcomes of our students this term we have commenced a rotation of Reading Sprints! These sprints are designed to enhance the reading skills of selected students who are just on the cusp of their end of year benchmark. Mr McManus, Mr Withers and Mrs McCarthy will spend time each week with selected students across the school and work with them one on one to achieve their reading goals and work towards them achieving the end of year benchmark by the end of term 2.  Once these students have achieved their goals we will then extend the reading sprints to our next level students to allow them the opportunity to achieve their goals and benchmark.  As parents and carers it is important that students read aloud to an adult every day to ensure that they are consolidating the skills and strategies that are being taught in the classroom each day.
