A wonderful forum was held last night 15/9 in our school library. Many issues were discussed surrounding the teaching of reading at school and at home. Ideas for follow up forums were noted. A huge thank you to Mrs Narelle batten and Mrs Kris Hawkins for their efforts in facilitating the forum and to the parents and community members who attended.
It was tremendous to see the enthusiasm community members had in becoming involved in the decision making process surrounding the National Partnership Program. To that end, I will be inviting interested community members to attend a ‘NPP management plan briefing’. Here, The NPP team will outline the plans and the targets the school has set for reading and comprehension for the years 2009 – 2011.
One request for a forum that will definitely be held before the end of the term or very early next term will be on:
NAPLAN – What is it? Who is it? What does it tell us? How do we use it?
A detailed record of ideas and discusion points will be collated by the NPP team over the next week and we hope to mail them to you as soon as possible.
Please remember to hand in your post forum thoughts to assist us in developing positive and sustainable community partnerships.
Great appreciation to all,
Glenn O’Neill.
