Assistant Principal
Danielle Frost
Welcome back to Term 2! I hope you all had a lovely break and Easter.
During the holidays, Mrs McClure and myself had the opportunity to work with a group of teachers from Sydney Catholic Schools in developing teaching programs that align with the Years 3 - 6 Mathematics Syllabus that will be rolled out next year. This was a wonderful opportunity to do a “deep dive” into the new curriculum and develop teaching and learning experiences across various stages. We look forward to sharing our learning with the teachers through our collaborative planning sessions this term.
National Walk Safely to School Day is celebrating its 24th anniversary and will be held on 19 May. This annual event encourages primary school children to walk and get to school safely. This event helps reinforce safe pedestrian behaviour, promotes the health benefits of walking, creates healthy habits at a young age, and develops vital road-crossing skills.
