What a fantastic start to the year we have with a sea of smiles from our special Fyffe Force Learners.
We are extremely fortunate to have Olivia with us in Room 2 and thanks for the tremendous amount of time and energy you’ve spent setting up your room. We also welcome Maddison and Hannah and we hope you all enjoy your time with us.
Last week the Year 6 students spent time reflecting on their time at Kaikoura Suburban School as learners and looked at their opportunities with the time they have left this year while they attached and raised the school flag. This flag is very symbolic as it sits high and proud above us monitoring and enjoying the journey our learners have and will take in the future.
Over the next 3 years the school Professional Development is based around the programme ‘Assess to Learn’ (AtoL). This will involve advisors visiting our school and classrooms, release for staff, weekends for whole school professional development and at least one Teacher Only Day.
Our first visit is in Week 5 where we will be discussing our school needs. We are happy to be extending our knowledge further in this field, which will lead changes to assessment, reporting and communicating with our learners and their families.
