On Thursday 7th and Friday 8th March, Mrs Disibio and Mrs Perre facilitated two parent workshops: Reading and Mathematics. 

This was a great opportunity to share with our parents some information around the new K-2 and 3-6 Syllabuses for both English and Mathematics. 

We were able to unpack some research into why we teach reading the way the syllabus directs us too, as well as the implications this has for our students here at St Columbkille's. We also engaged in some fun Maths games which really got our brains into gear! Some of the foundational knowledge that is required in each of the stages in Primary School were discussed and explored through fun, hands-on games. 

A big thank you to those parents who were able to join us!
