Wellbeing - School Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPBS)
Ms Sanderson, our wellbeing coordinator has implemented a school-wide positive behaviour support, an evidence-based framework for Victorian government schools for preventing and responding to student behaviour. It aims to create a positive school climate, a culture of student competence and an open, responsive management system for all school community members.
Performing Arts - Music in Schools
Our school was also chosen to be part of the Music in Schools Program over the next two-years. Madame Baque and Madame Breimeyer will work with expert music teachers to improve our teaching and learning of music at our school. We will have coaches come out to the school and work within classrooms and there will also be professional development that our staff will attend.
Numeracy - Peter Sullivan
We are continuing to work with Peter Sullivan around his approach to teaching mathematics. He worked with our staff on our first curriculum day to see what simple maths games can be used as quick assessment. He will also be coming out to our school to work in the classroom by modelling lessons and providing feedback over the year.

We have been accepted to participate in the Victorian Young Writers Program in May this year. This exciting program includes:

STAYING SAFE ONLINE
In our modern world, our children are exposed to and have access to such a broad range of content with the ability to share with others, whilst exploring the vast world wide web. We all have a responsibility to ensure this ability to engage in these spaces and platforms is monitored, managed, and done safely, respectfully and within the appropriate guidelines.
At school, we ask staff to be actively checking their student’s activity in these spaces. Our IT Technician team have created a controlled space for students to work within, and children are given e-safety workshops each term to support their understanding and engagement with technology and the internet.
At home, we stress that you actively manage the use of devices, know what your child is accessing and what to do if an issue arises whilst your child is online.
