Term 2 Week 6 3rd June 2016 Issue No. 17
From the Principal
The past week has been jammed full of great opportunities for our students and teachers, seeing them travel all over the country to be part of many rich experiences.
and some overnight red-eye flights is quite exhausting. I am thankful for the commitment that our teachers show to the task of further developing quality Christian education and their willingness to put in the extra hours to do so.
Literacy and Numeracy Development Five of our Primary staff were able to travel right across the country as part of our ongoing funded Literacy and Numeracy Action Plan. They spent two days exploring explicit teaching in action at Dianella Heights Public School in Western Australia and shared the journey with some fellow Christian School teachers, who are similarly improving the pedagogical framework in their schools.
Early starts and late departs I am also encouraged by the many staff and families who have arrived at school before dawn and often returned after dusk to give our students opportunities to engage in events and carnivals. The State Cross Country last Friday saw four male and four female students from each age group travel to the Sydney International Equestrian Centre to compete with students from across the state. All of our students gave their best and ran well
While this is a wonderful opportunity, packing in two days of professional development, 5,000+kms of travel Page 1
