PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

I may have led everyone up the garden path regarding

last week’s 3MAPS meeting and Staff Meeting.

Principals completed their Professional Development

Plans and reviews for the year, and then spent time

fulfilling online requirements surrounding the A-Z

Policy implementation – looking at Guidelines for all

staff re Working with Children checks etc.

Another day of organisation for 3MAPS Principals

Thursday 8th December as we set about completing

requirements such as Annual School Reports into new

School Planning and Reporting Online (SPaRO)

Application and School Excellence Framework (SEF)

evaluation.

The Staff Meeting Agenda included the sharing of

Scope and Sequences for areas other than Maths and

English. This proved to be an important conversation,

lots of work involved here!

CANTEEN LUNCH

Thanks Magda and Marius for another great lunch

treat! We all enjoyed it.
