FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL & CLASSROOM SUPPORT

Week four has been a busy week, with our Junior Cross country taking place on Wednesday. I enjoyed being able to spend some time at the Cross Country and was once again impressed by the fantastic sportsmanship of our students. Well done St Pat’s!

Week four has also seen the introduction of our new 3-6 reading program ‘Reading Mastery’. Each day, students participate in a one-hour explicit instruction lesson in reading, where they explore a wide range of text types. They spend time in each session looking at vocabulary, reading strategies and comprehension. There is also opportunities for writing and dictation within each lesson.  This is a fast paced, evidence driven program that has seen fantastic results across schools.

Our Connecting Maths Concepts (CMC) program continues to run in classes from K-6 four days a week, with a fifth day allocated for additional maths tasks, including problem solving. Students now know the program very well and are demonstrating a high level of engagement during these sessions.

It has been lovely to spend time visiting classrooms to see students happily engaged in their learning. STEM sessions on Friday continue to be a success, with students learning from a range of platforms and apps. Mrs Harnett is enjoying being able to share her passion for technology with our students.

Prayer is an integral part of daily life at St Pat's. This morning, I watched a beautiful prayer session in Kindergarten. All students were displaying reverence, demonstrating an understanding of the significance of prayer.
