Middle Leader News
Dear Parents,
Last week I had the opportunity to attend The Middle Leader Day with other Middle Leader’s from the Toowoomba Diocese. This was a wonderful opportunity to share our learning journey for 2024 with other schools and reflect on our school’s curriculum journey - what a journey it has been! Our big 3 undertakings in 2024, involved upskilling teachers and planning for Version 9 Maths, English & HASS, implementing the new Diocesan approach to reading and Decodable Reader’s Australia for our early years. What have we learnt in 2024? Our teachers are amazing and dedicated in supporting our students and we have seen amazing growth in our student’s learning journeys. Through this reflection, we now begin to prepare for 2025 and can’t wait to see some exciting changes implemented in the 3-6 space.
STEM:
STEM is a point of difference for our School where students not only engage in STEM in their classrooms but also have the opportunity to join our Junior and Senior STEM Clubs. Over the school holidays, your child can continue the love of STEM, through the Integrated STEM opportunities provided in Toowoomba. The first opportunity is at Fairholme College from the 16th – 20th Dec. You can register for as many days as you like. Please see the flyer attached. If you register, please include St Saviour’s when choosing your school.
Family Reading Week
During Week 9 of this term, you are encouraged to read as many stories as you like throughout the week and send a photo of your and your family enjoying a story into your classroom teacher. As a school we would love to promote the joy of reading and see the spaces where you and your family love to read.
Enjoy your weekend,
Bec Thomas
