Cross Country Carnival

Our school held our carnival last Friday in glorious conditions. Congratulations to those who had a crack and did their best.

 

NAPLAN

Our Year 3 & 5 students will be taking part in this annual testing next week and as always, we’ll organise this to maximise the chance of success and minimise the anxiety that may come with it. Once again, all we expect is that you’ll give it your best shot.

How2Learn

One of our major and ongoing professional learning activities we have in place is HOW2Learn which is a research-based package aimed at increasing our teaching skills and improving outcomes for our students. Each week I will endeavour to propose aspects of mindsets and challenge you to take it into consideration in your role as parents / carers. 

  

Fixed Mindset

Feel inferior or incapable

Change to

Growth Mindset

Feel inspired to give it a go

Which mindset is most likely to result in learning? Change the words, change the mindset!
