MacqLit

This term we have had a great start to MacqLit with nearly all students progressing to the next level in the program. We are proud of our students, who have worked hard on improving their reading skills, with some students nearly doubling their MacqLit assessment score in only six months. It's been fantastic to hear further success stories from staff and parents who have noticed improvements in class and at home. Moving forward into this term our goal is to keep up this impressive growth rate and have everyone reading with fluency and comprehension every day. 

Please see an excerpt below from the MacqLit website:

Report by Dr Nicola Bell and Emeritus Professor Kevin Wheldall 2019

Since the release of MacqLit in 2016, we have loved hearing from teachers who have implemented the program and found it successful. However, as a company founded on delivering evidence-based programs, MultiLit has also been very keen to back up this positive anecdotal feedback with hard data. With that in mind, we’ve recently taken a close look at the data we’ve collected while running MacqLit programs. The analysis included 292 students, from Years 3 through 6, who attended MacqLit at school for two terms. Trained MultiLit tutors delivered the program for roughly four hours per week during the semester, and trained MultiLit testers collected the assessment results at the beginning and end of the program.  According to the raw score results, the students made substantial and statistically significant gains across the semester in word reading accuracy, nonword reading accuracy, spelling accuracy, passage reading fluency, passage reading accuracy, and reading comprehension.

As always if you would like to know more about the program and how it works or would like more information on how your child might be involved you can go to the link below or contact me.

You’re Welcome!

Our school gates are often closed for reasons of student safely, but that doesn’t mean you’re not welcome. Just lift the latch at the top of the pedestrian gate and come on in.

From the start of Term 3 the double gates off Coolibah Drive will be padlocked. Please come in through the pedestrian gate on Ironwood Drive.

Social Justice Sunday

We celebrate Social Justice Sunday on the 29th of August. The Australian Bishops’ Social Justice Statement, Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor, invites us to join in responding to Pope Francis’ invitation to take a seven-year journey towards total ecological sustainability guided by seven Laudato Si’ Goals. The Statement provides theological foundations to ground and inspire our efforts to care for creation while responding to the needs of the disadvantaged and excluded.
