The day with the Leadership Team commenced with a beautiful Liturgy of the Word in the Church. We gathered to reflect on our Catholic value of service and our called to respond actively to God’s mission as servant leaders by reaching out to others and all of creation. Thank you to Mrs Arthur-Worsop for preparing the liturgy and to our student cantors and readers who very capably led us in prayer.
After morning tea with the staff, the Leadership Team headed to classrooms for Learning Walks and Talks. There was absolutely fabulous personalised learning in action in every classroom: Challenging Maths Tasks, English choice tasks, coding actiivites, STEM activities, students negotiating their learning and articulating their personal goals and success criteria.
