Collaborative Leadership Improving Learning Sessions

This week teachers from Years 3 – 6 were released from class to undertake professional development with Ms Sartor (Instructional Coach) and Mrs Nunes (Assistant Principal) within the area of numeracy. Within these sessions teachers discerned over current data sets and collaboratively planned lesson sequences to bolster student understanding within their identified areas of need.

 Advent – Commences Sunday 27^th November

Advent is such a busy time of year and we so easily forget that—at its heart—it is meant to be a time of preparation, waiting and hope for the coming of Jesus into our world and lives.

To remind us of this, for the past nine years, the diocese has published an annual Advent and Christmas Program that provides an opportunity for us to be still each day, listen to God, and come to know that Jesus is the whole reason for our being. Like Mary proclaimed in her Magnificat:

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.”
LUKE 1:46
