We have had an exciting start to Term 4 as we begin PAT testing in the curriculum areas of English (Reading), and Mathematics for students across Prep to Grade 6. We implemented the Reading test first and we have been very excited to see that our data right across the school has shown considerable improvement. This is a real testament to our strong team approach that ensures we are all working together to improve the learning  outcomes of our students.

We have used our Professional Learning Teams to support the implementation of the Department’s Reading Priority through a focus on our pedagogy, as well as looking closely at student data. This has allowed us to plan and deliver high quality learning to provide the best possible success for students. It has been exciting to see students engaging so meaningfully in their learning and taking pride in their achievements.

Term 4 is a busy and eventful time. It is a term where we continue to work hard but also celebrate all the growth we have experienced. The days of more sunlight and warmer weather add a real sense of optimism as well. We look forward to seeing parents and families around the school for the various celebrations we have planned.

Kind regards
