THANK YOU MR AUCHTERLONIE
A special thank you to Mr Auchterlonie for his hard work painting and helping to transform our former Oosh room into a mainstream classroom. He is doing a marvellous job. Thank you!
Also thank you to Mr Ballango and Mrs Privett for their outstanding efforts in respect to setting up the new Learning Support class. Again, thank you!
SCHOOL EVALUATION
Corrimal East staff will be shortly engaging in a series of staff meetings that will culminate in the writing of the school’s 2010 Action plan.
We will be setting targets and directions which address our student’s learning needs and help establish our school as one of the premier schools in the Wollongong District.
We will set school targets and then plan and implement strategies that will successfully show that our targets have been met. As it is part of a 3 year plan some targets that were established last year will be evaluated and refined to best meet the needs of our students.
During our Week 4 meeting, I invite interested parents to participate and have the opportunity to contribute in helping set future directions for our school. If you are interested in participating please contact the office for details.
Next year our 2010 kindergarten students and teachers will again participate in the Best Start program and establish early learning parameters which will form the basis of our Early Stage One teaching learning programs.
