We also teach through the Gradual Release Model: I Do (teacher models), We Do (teacher and class together), You Do (students work independently). This gives students the support they need as they are consildating new learning, while also giving them the opportunity to gain confidence as they apply new learning.

Every child has personalised learning goals in core curriculum areas and are given support, strategies and feedback to help them acheive these. We use formative assessment alongside the curriculum to ensure all lessons and programs are both aligned to the curriculum, but also cater to student's current learning needs. Students particiapte in strategy groups with their teacher, helping  to support and extend each child.
