Dear HCEPS community,
As term 4 has commenced we have hit the ground running with staff engaging in PD opportunities and exciting upcoming events,
Staff meeting: PAT data analysis
During a recent staff meeting teachers came together to analyze Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) data for reading, spelling and mathematics. This collaborative session aimed to enhance teaching strategies and support student learning through data-informed decision-making.
Teachers worked in small groups to discuss the data trends, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This focused analysis not only allowed educators to share their observations but also encouraged dialogue on effective practices that have led to student success.
The focus on PAT data not only supports academic excellence but also cultivates a culture of collaboration and innovation within Hallett Cove East Primary School. As the school community continues to embrace data-informed practices, students are sure to benefit from enhanced learning experiences tailored to their unique needs.
Teachers will continue to engage with PAT data, monitoring progress and adapting their approaches to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.
Upcoming events
Get ready for some fun and vibrant activities at Hallett Cove East Primary School! We are thrilled to announce two exciting upcoming events: the School Disco and the Colour Run, both designed to bring our community together in a spirit of joy and celebration.
School Disco- Week 2, Friday 25th October On Friday night students are joining for a night of dancing and laughter at our School Disco! Set to take place on Friday 25th October, 4:30- 5:00 for R-3 and 5:30- 6:30 years 4-6. This event promises to be a blast for students of all ages. With a fantastic playlist, games, and dancing, it’s the perfect opportunity for kids to unwind and make lasting memories with their friends. Don’t forget to come dressed in your best dance attire!
Colour Run- Week 3, Friday 1st November Next week, we’re excited to host our first Colour Run at Hallett Cove East Primary School on Friday 1st November. This fun-filled event encourages students to get active while being splashed with vibrant colours. Families are welcome to come and watch as students and staff run, walk, or stroll through the colourful course. The Colour Run is not just about fitness; it’s about community spirit and support, so come along and cheer everyone on!
We will have 2 times for students to run through the course 1:50- 2:10 for the years 4-6 students and 2:20- 2:40 for the R-3 students. To conclude our Colour Run we will be having another sliming of staff based on the funds raised. So far we will be sliming Mr Charlton and if we manage to raise up to $20, 000 we will also be sliming Miss Belshaw! It’s not too late to donate.
We can’t wait to see our school community come together for these joyful events. Stay tuned for more details, and let’s make these celebrations unforgettable!
Kind regards,
Robyn Physick
