School Improvements
WebPartZone0_1
Key Improvement 1
A Focus on Reading
Explained: [1]
Teaching Reading
Preparing students to learn to read comes first from learning to speak and listen. We are using Promoting Literacy Development (PLD) to explicitly teach and track core language skills. A series of videos unpack early literacy skills explained by
PLD.

To better understand how learning to read works, we are using a model called "Scarborough's Rope".
oin us as we look at each "strand" of rope and engage students in improving each skill one strand at a time.

Key Improvement 2
Inclusion is for Everyone
Explained: [2]
Students experience inclusive education when they can access and fully participate in learning, alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by reasonable adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their individual needs. Inclusion is embedded in all aspects of school life, and is supported by culture, policies and every day practices.
We are continuing to deepen our learning on the needs of all our students from complex behaviours to trauma impacted and cultural diversity, this is a great and wonderful journey for our staff and school. Keep joining in as we learn together.
