PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

StMarysPublic_BATLOW_1.jpgDear Parents,
This week, we had Sommer Johnson visit to support teaching staff with High Impact Teaching Practices. This approach asks teachers to deliver content explicitly and is used across our archdiocese. At St Mary's we use HITP in Spelling, Maths and Initialit K-2. We can see first hand that students are more engaged and remembering content more successfully.  Sommer teaches on the Gold Coast where she teaches a Yr 4/5/6. Her  school is further along the HITP journey than St Mary's and she has much experience to share with us. Sommer has visited us twice now and will be back 3 more times over the next few terms.

Upcoming Sports

  • Rugby Gala day Lucas and Nace travel to tumut tomorrow to join with St Joseph's Adelong in a Yr 5/6 team. Good luck boys!
  • WR Cross Country nominations are due tomorrow. Nominations fees $10 to be paid in cash please.

Batlow Show

Finally, our display at the Batlow Show showcased our upcoming 100th celebrations. Thank you to our students for you contributions to our school display but also to all the extra entries they made in other categories across the pavillion. A big shout out to Lacey Garner who performed well in the ring on her horse-Doug! She was awarded Under 13 Stockmans Challenge Age Champion on the day!!

Have a lovely week everyone.
