[email protected] Friday, 23rd April, 2021. Dear Families and Friends of our Koorawatha PS Community, A lot has happened in our little school since our last newsletter. We’ve now had our playground unit installed and tried by our students…and staff. A few other significant events that we have participated in include: School’s Clean Up Australia Day, STEAM Ahead Robotics workshop day, Cowra Festival of International Understanding New Zealand Tumanko Maori workshop and Japanese Garden visit, and an agricultural workshop with Cowra High. Term 1 culminated in our very first World’s Greatest Shave community event, hosted here at our school. CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! This term will no doubt exceed all of our expectations in various ways, particularly in the area of teaching and learning programs. As a team, our staff are extraordinarily committed to refining practices that will extend student’s learning and wellbeing outcomes. We are working closely with our Early Action for Success (EAfS) Instructional Leader, Amanda Miller, to hone in on literacy and numeracy assessment data to create targeted areas of focus for each and every student. This term we will continue to spend allocated time in our Outdoor Learning Hub, with Aboriginal culture being a focus this term, sustainability in Term 3, and transitions in Term 4. Thank you to all who participated in our learning ecosystem interviews and surveys – the feedback will be analysed and used to enhance our Outdoor Learning Hub.
