Parent Café

Our recent Parent Café was a presentation to the parents about the curriculum we have developed for our students. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us. For those of you who were not able to attend, this week’s blog includes the PDF of the presentation. I have added explanations in several areas but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.

We are very proud of the progress we have made thus far this year but always know there are more ways we can improve. The joy of being an educator is that we have constant access to new research that guides us in best practice. Mr. Gauci has the motto that we do not change our current path of practice until we have well researched new practices in our teacher working groups. So you should know as parents that when things change in Primary at Chatsworth, it is because we know it is important for your child’s development.

Enjoy reviewing the curriculum.
