The middle of the school year provides an ideal opportunity to stop and reflect on the progress thus far. Whether it is looking at how our physical environment has changed since the start of the year or considering the growth in learning, independence or confidence in our students, it’s important to pause and celebrate what has been achieved. Spending some time this week in the early childhood classes, some grade ones were keen to share some pieces of their writing. When they looked back to the front of their writing book and compared their progress, they absolutely beamed with pride when describing ‘look at how far I have come!’. When your child’s report comes home next week, please take the time to reflect on their progress, discuss their goals for the remainder fo the year and celebrate the growth that they have made this year. Please remember that if you have any questions in relation to your child’s reports that you are welcome to make contact with your child’s class teacher.
