Happy children make for happy learning!
Children need guidelines at school and at home. They respond positively to clear boundaries. Children respond well to praise rather than criticism. Children also respond to calm environments. Learning happens best when children are happy and engaged. Learning happens at home as well as at school.
Here’s to a HAPPY term of learning!
Maths Club
This term Maths Club will commence after school on a Tuesday afternoon instead of a Monday. Children from Year 2-6 are welcome to attend. This can be for extension, revision, one-on-one assistance or to complete homework with help. This will be held in the Star Room.
Morning Club
This week we had a small number of children attend our Morning Club which ran each day from 8am-8.40am.
Morning Club is an opportunity for children to arrive at school early when it is difficult for parents who need to be at work early. This is available for all children from K-6 and will be held in the library.
The children will be required to participate in quiet activities during this time, reading, writing, drawing, colouring, homework tasks and computer tasks. They may bring games to play.
At 8.40am the children who attend will then go to the playground for morning supervision.
Intervention Programs
If you would like to assist with any of our intervention programs at school, please fill in the web form below or contact Belinda or me.
Parents, grandparents and friends of St Mary's are also welcome to help.
At this stage, we would like to offer intervention programs in Spelling, Reading and Numeracy.
