FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers
We offer a big St Pat's welcome a new student Lhyanne in 34Y this week.
We thank our teachers for their dedication and teaching for Semester 1, 2023. During the Semester our teachers have continued to consolidate their pedagogical skills in the use of explicit and direct instruction in English and Maths. Our Year 3-6 teachers have learned about and implemented the Reading Mastery program.
Celebrating learning
I have enjoyed talking with students about their learning and asking about the work of which they are most proud, the learning that they enjoy, and the learning that is challenging. Here are some quotes from two students from each class.
