​​​School priority focus in English

Our major school improvement priority at the present time, is increasing the number of students achieving C or above in English.

The curriculum, planning, teaching and assessment cycle for English has been developed to provide multiple opportunities for our year level teams to collaborate and plan, review work samples and tailor feedback and targeted teaching to ensure that all children have the opportunity and support to achieve in English.

At regular junctures throughout the term (weeks 3,5,7) year level teams from Yrs 1 to Year 6 are released to collaborate and review student work samples together with the Head of Curriculum, Principal and Deputy Principal. The Prep year level team joins the CASW cycle in Semester 2. These meetings provide opportunities to identify targeted teaching strategies to support students achieve their next learning goal in English.

At regular junctures throughout the term (weeks 2,4,6) the leadership team check in with students across the year levels asking students 5 key questions regarding their learning in English:

  1. What are you learning?
  2. How are you going?
  3. How do you know?
  4. How can you improve?
  5. Where can you go for help?

Student answers can make teachers aware of how teaching and learning is going and ensure that students receive the targeted teaching they require to achieve.

Reading

Reading is one of the most important skills children can learn at school and we need to help all of our children become successful readers.

Home Reading is an essential part of this process as it provides children with the opportunity to practise skills and strategies they are being taught at school, sharing their learning with their families and develop a love of reading and sharing books.
