Early Numeracy Screener

Next week some of our Prep and Grade 1 students will take part in the Macquarie University: Centre for Independent Studies project titled 'Development of a Numeracy Screen Tool to Idenitfy Students At Risk of Low Mathematics Achievement'.

This project involves teachers trialling a Maths screening tool to assess Number knowledge and skills. This project includes Prep and Grade 1 students, who have been given parental consent, completing a short 15-20 minute screener on iPads 2-3 times this year.

Our Prep and Grade One teachers look forward to implementing and reviewing the assessment screener to provide feedback to researchers about the effectiveness of the tool.

Staff RE Project

This term Mrs Katherine Crouch has led teaching staff to develop and refine units of work in the God element of the Good News for Living curriculum for implementation in the second half of this term. Staff have worked in teams to analyse core learning content and plan for learning using INSIGHT pedagogies. After teaching these units teachers will have the time to critically reflect on content, student learning and develop constructive direction for RE learning in the future.
