Introducing our new HOC

Hi I am Shellie and I am your new Head of Curriculum for 2020. My job is to lead and support the teaching and learning of the Australian Curriculum within our school. This not only includes working with our wonderful staff and students, but also parents, carers and the wider school community. If you ever have any questions, comments, or would like to have a chat, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or drop by my office. I am very passionate about encouraging communication and literacy skills in all areas of student learning, and having a close relationship with families supports this focus.

I have enjoyed visiting all classrooms over the last two weeks and have delighted in participating in some extraordinary learning experiences. In senior school we practiced numeracy skills whilst playing UNO, it was so exciting because I WON! Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner! I participated in some writing and reading experiences across Early Years, Primary and Junior Secondary classrooms and I was astounded at how well the students were actively engaging in their literacy experiences. This Semester’s English and Maths units are focused on the topic of ‘Celebrations’ and classes will organise a variety of learning experiences around Celebrations. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and working with the school community. 2020 is going to be an AWESOME year!
