2015 has continued to see a fantastic improvement in Literacy skills across the grades K - 6. The Early Stage One team (Kindergarten) are excelling with all students moving along the Literacy continuum. Kindergarten teachers have embarked on their second year of L3 training and this training is reaping immediate benefits with our Kinders acquiring early success in Literacy and more importantly being fully engaged leaners.
Our Stage One team (Year 1 and 2) are currently receiving their initial stage of L3 training. Our Assistant Principal, Ms Carman, is leading the training of not just our school but also teachers from three other schools.This is very important for our school as all of our teachers K - 2 are receiving systematic and explicit training in L3. Preliminary results arising from our Year 1 and 2 classes are outstanding and I look forward to observing further growth.
Stage 2 and 3 have received intensive training in Focus On Reading and strategies from FoR are used in daily Literacy sessions. All students are cyclically assessed every 5 weeks and mapped against the Literacy continuum. Results have demonstrated outstanding progress in all areas of Literacy.
