Reflections on Our First Week in Year Five

During the first week of Year Five, the teachers have been setting up the expectations for the year and inviting the students to set Literacy goals for themselves. In the next few weeks you will be asked to attend a goal setting meeting with your child. During this time a goal will be set to help the children focus on during the first half of the year.
It is a great opportunity for you to discuss with them what they would like to achieve. When setting a goal it is important to make sure they are SMART. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)
We look forward to meeting with you and setting goals together.
