Learning Conversations will take place via MS Teams towards the end of Term 1. Please note the following important dates:
Parents are encouraged to contact the subject teacher with specific concerns throughout the term. The Learning Conversations provide an opportunity to briefly share student learning progress. We always endeavour to provide the maximum number of after hours sessions, whilst also taking our teaching staff into consideration. Please make your bookings as soon as you can, as sessions for certain subjects can become fully booked quite quickly.
Parents will be notified when bookings are open and guidelines will be provided as to how to navigate Learning Conversations on MS Teams, closer to the time.
A message from our Leaders of Pedagogy, Tina Di Camillo and Punita Mistry:
"All staff at 秘色传媒 College attend Professional Learning Development on Tuesday afternoons. For our teaching staff, the focus is always on how to best support student learning, from a wholistic perspective. In 2022, we will further our pedagogical focus to include a discipline specific Whole School Literacy Program.
The program is evidence based and utilises both external data such as NAPLAN and Allwell Testing, as well as our own internal formative and summative data, to identify specific learning opportunities. This will be supported by teacher pedagogical development in explicit teaching and feedback strategies.
We also continue to embed the learning from 2021, including our focus on the Learning Framework and Lesson Structure to ensure consistency in lesson delivery for students鈥� benefit. 秘色传媒 have noticed and appreciate the consistency in the layout of their lessons. The uniformity of a defined lesson construct facilitates the ability to anticipate the lesson layout, in turn creating a sense of familiarity and place, that promotes confidence and understanding of context.
We look forward to sharing our learnings with the wider school community throughout the year."
A message from our Head of Learning Diversity, Annette Barker:
