Curriculum News  

This term we are continuing our focus on reading across all Prep to Year 6 classes. At our year level meetings, we looked at our reading results from semester one and tracked individual student movement on our data wall. All year levels have recorded a growth in student reading achievement. This is due to the combined effort of all our fantastic teaching and support staff.

This term we are hoping to build on this growth by refining student goals and the feedback we provide to them around their achievement. Research tells us that effective feedback to students about how they are learning is one of the most effective ways to improve achievement.  Our staff meeting this week included Mr. Callaghan explaining the importance of giving our students effective feedback. 

Our older students are helping at Reading Hub each morning and play an active role in giving feedback to the younger students about how they can improve their reading skills.

Predicting

This term we are commencing a whole school comprehension focus. This will involve all students being taught the strategy and then given opportunities to independently use the skills across the curriculum.
