An outstanding day working with Doug Lemov and the Teach Like a Champion team. The highlight was watching videos of the amazing teachers in Australia we have been working with from La Salle Academy, St Columbra's and Lumen Christi Primary Schools. Thank you to my friend and colleague Dan Cotton for organising the visit, your support is greatly appreciated.
Also, I love the gift we gave Dan and Doug, new Socceroo (Australian Soccer team) hats. Go Socceroos at the World Cup!!

Today, a number of our leaders gathered with 20 others from our local Catholic primary and secondary schools to begin working with Christopher Thomas, a Teach Like a Champion facilitator from PWRD Leadership, on Pedagogical Coaching.
Weβre so blessed to have such incredible teachers at our school and we know, just as it is with elite sportspeople, that the greatness that already exists within our people is magnified through effective coaching processes which, in turn, improve student learning.
And, thatβs what weβre all about here at St Paulβs Primary School!
