RESPECT, INTEGRITY, PERSISTENCE, RESILIENCE AND RELATIONSHIPS

Student Leadership 2018 At assembly on Friday 2nd March, Ms Lorraine Morgan, a past teacher of Karingal Primary School and a long standing official with Athletics Australia presented our School Captains, House Captains and SRC Representatives with their badges. Lorraine received a Member of the Order of Australia in 2002 for her devotion to sport and education in the country and has displayed many outstanding leadership qualities for our student leaders to aspire to in her involvement both in a paid and voluntary capacity with Athletics Australia. Our School Captains for 2018 are Nicholas P and Tayla. The House Captains are Bunerong: Morgan and Tori, Aranda: Shawn and Aalia, Warramunga: Dylan and Tamara, and Paringa: Nicholas A and Mischa. The SRC Representatives are: 2/3A: Kylana and Riley H, 3/4A Zac and Brylee, 4/5A Ruby and Garrion, 5/6A Charli and Daimon, 5/6B Kade and Mia, M2A Xavier K and Charlotte, M2B Xhiana and Veljko, M3A River and Winter. Curriculum Day-Literacy and Numeracy On Tuesday 13th March, all staff attended the professional development day facilitated by Caitlin McCormack and Jeremy Bodley. Caitlin focussed on the Daily 5 and CAFÉ framework which provides structure and effective strategies for teaching and learning independence in Literacy. Jeremy supported the teachers in developing a Karingal Primary School scope and sequence in the areas of Mathematics and aligning it into our K4 Maths model. Teacher Professional Practice Days In the Education State, we achieve excellence by consistently focusing on improving the achievements of learners across Victoria, whether it is through improving the quality of educational services or changing the way we teach. One of the most important things we can do to improve student outcomes is to develop and improve the skills of our teachers. The Victorian Government will continue to provide opportunities to develop professional, passionate teachers and principals and equip them with the right knowledge and skills for a modern classroom. To ensure we support the learning and development of not only our students, but our teachers too; we are committed to providing professional development opportunities for our teaching workforce. What are Professional Practice Days? As part of the Victorian Government Schools Agreement 2017, teachers will receive one day per term when they are out of the classroom to focus on the improved delivery of high quality teaching and learning. What this means for your child. Your child’s teacher will spend four days per year further developing their skills in areas that are aligned to the school priorities. Your child will directly benefit from these improvements in their daily learning.

On these days, an alternate teacher will assist your child with their learning needs. We are scheduling the professional practice days ahead of time so there is minimal impact to students and, where possible , there is consistency in teaching. If you would like further information, please feel free to make contact with me. Reminders.
