Teaching and Learning | Marlie Boyd
2026
Thank you to all who completed the FLARE survey for 2026 Literacy here at school. Next year we will be moving to Phase C - Phase C When you actually look at Phase C and the learning that is required to take place, there is no new learning that is occurring. This will allow us to consolidate and focus on what we need to focus on. I look forward to supporting you through next year as best I can and always remember.. Go slow to go far.
Celebrating our students
I had a beautiful email come through from one of our teachers saying the following;
I have an amazing narrative written by a student. I was wondering if there are children's writing competitions we could potentially put it in?
I also thought it was an amazing example of structured literacy for higher achieving students and squashing the notion it's 'boring' or not engaging for them. The skills we have taught are in it. At the start of the year she wrote well, but not on the more technical side (grammar, punctuation, run-on sentences, idioms etc) some improvements were needed.
Here is a snippet of the masterpiece!! I’m blown away. Writing - Sample (due to poor scanning)
