We have hit the ground running in Term 4!

In week 1 we welcomed Jane Farrall to the school to work with staff building their knowledge of literacy instruction. At GSS we believe every student can engage with literacy instruction. Jane Farrall supports our staff in differentiating our practices to ensure all students have access to daily literacy instruction. 

This term, the Year 10 students and their families have joined GSS classroom staff to participate in the very important PATH Plan meetings. PATH stands for Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope. It is a visual person-centred planning and goal setting tool. We use this tool to support the creation of student-centred year 11 and 12 programming. Within the process families are supported to think and start planning for post-school options. Recently three staff attended the 2-day PATH plan training at Maryborough Special School.

PBL News:

This week we were visited by our Regional PBL coach conducting a survey on our whole school implementation.  We will be using this information to help us create the next 12-month action plan. It has been fabulous to hand out all of the Ardy Certificates on parade each week. Many of our students are powering through to the Silver awards!!

Have a great month everyone!

Regards,

Chrissie
