New SMARTBOARDS 2019

St Saviour’s Primary has purchased six new SMARTboards for the 2019 school year to replace some of our older models.  The new boards will go into the prep, year 6 and two of the year 4 classrooms.

Last Friday, the teachers received training into how the SMARTboards work from  Rebecca Woolnough from SMART.  Rebecca works at a school in Melbourne and uses this technology regularly.  It was a fantastic day, which saw the teachers learn simple things like marking the roll on the board to more complex tasks such as creating interactive lessons.

More to come in 2019.

TRANSITION MEETINGS 2019

This week all teachers have been engaged in transition meetings.  These meetings are at the end of the year so that the teachers can learn about the students entering their class in 2019 and can plan teaching units around their strengths and areas that need consolidation.  At these meetings teachers look at student data from assessment pieces and whole school testing.  This data also informs 2019 planning.
