Teachers
We recognise the importance of parental involvement in driving student success and wellbeing at all levels of schooling.
Value of the Week
We’ve teamed up with the Student Engagement Institute to bring you Value of the Week. As the name suggests, this engaging weekly program addresses values that are relevant in the lives of young people today. The online component of Value of the Week ensures the virtues learnt in the classroom are easily accessed and readily replicated at home. Families and teachers are working together to reaffirm the importance of values such as tolerance and perseverance to promote harmonious classrooms and homes.
Value of the Week contributes 3 hours of QTC Registered PD addressing 4.1.2, 4.3.2 & 4.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
