Moral education is embedded in our teaching. Students frequently join a Family Meetings every Wednesday, where character virtues are discussed in different groups anchored by two teachers and at school-wide assemblies. SUPPORTING ALL LEARNERS
We have adopted and implemented Literacy for Life learning strategies so all students are engaged in reading, writing, processing, and representing literary concepts. Strategies such as the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM), Read to Succeed, Just Read, Literacy Inquiry Strategies, and the use of classroom libraries, are continuously incorporated into our learning program and school plan. We have 1.5 Resource Teachers. They work cooperatively with classroom teachers to support students learning and improve students academic, personal, and social behaviours.
