Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

The year 5’s had a bit of a change of scenery for their English lesson today. After spending their writing lesson taking note of what they saw, smelt, felt and heard on our beautiful back paddock. They spent their 15 minutes of reading soaking up some well needed sun ☀️☀️

Today Mrs Henebery continued our High Potential and Gifted Enrichment Numeracy Program, providing students with greater extension and challenge through the depth, breadth and pace of instruction. This week’s learning focused on authentic financial planning, where students used Google Sheets to investigate budgeting, apply spreadsheet formulas and make informed financial decisions. Through this rich mathematical investigation, students strengthened their problem-solving, reasoning, communication and digital literacy skills while applying mathematics in a real-world context. We are so proud of the students’ enthusiasm, perseverance and willingness to embrace challenge. It was wonderful to see them collaborating, thinking critically and confidently explaining the mathematical strategies they used to solve complex problems.
