Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we have enjoyed a visit from our High Impact Teaching Practice (HITP) coach, Andrew Pirie. Andrew again worked closely with six of our St Pat's teachers on their teaching practice of explicit direct instruction (EDI) and the use of the high impact strategy of Daily Review. Andrew's feedback was very positive about the professionalism and pedagogy of our teachers. We look forward to Andrew's continued connection next year when more of our staff engage with him as their coach. 

St Patrick's has also enjoyed a 2 day visit from our Aboriginal Education Consultant, Kerry O'Callaghan. Kerry worked alongside Brytan, Chantelle and Mrs Franco to strengthen our planning for teaching and learning, our cultural celebrations and the cultural programs in our school. 

Class Allocation Policy

During the second half of term 4 we undertake the class allocation processes for classes for next year. Please read the Class Allocation Policy here to understand the role of parents in the conversation, as well as the process in general.

Today I enjoyed celebrating learning with several students. Claire shared her Mathematical learning with me.

Enjoy your weekend with some quality family time.

Blessings

Jo
