Getting Ready for learning

All classes begin each year with a two-week program on establishing a positive learning culture with consistent expectations across the school. The Getting Ready for Learning program focusses on developing shared values, attitudes, skills and community goals that will prepare the class and school for success. All learning activities are designed to develop the theme. Home-School links are an integral part of this process which is continually reinforced and revisited.
