The single biggest influence on children's learning is the teacher. That is why it is so important we continue to develop our capabilities in order to have the biggest impact on children's learning that we can. We are very fortunate to have a team of highly skilled staff who are always wanting to learn and improve. On Monday we had our Staff Only Day where we continued our learning on Structured Literacy. This was a really productive day and our collective knowledge and understanding is continuing to influence what we are doing in the classroom.

One of the responsibilities the Board of Trustees has is to set the future direction of our school. Our strategic plan is due for a refresh/rewrite going into 2024 and the Board need your input. The future planning for our school needs to reflect the aspirations our community has for their children so your input is vital. The first part of our consultation is by survey. The information is in the next article. Please take the time to answer the survey - it is not too long.
