State Council Term 3
Again our State Council was a busy one, but this time without our PPC Presidents. We had an “old” favourite Adrian Piccoli return to talk about the work of the Gonski Institute and had three of our delegates Tracey Anderson (Blacktown), John Bond (Shellharbour) and Tim Fisher (Wollongong) discussed how to create Engaging PPC Meetings so everyone comes back. Our Minister & Deputy Secretaries were also part of the mix.
I don’t want to steal the Delegates role but I need to mention Dymocks and their Charity that will support us in our schools. Delegates have all the information you need about how to get involved in their programs. The main program – Book Bank is a literacy support program, giving primary school children in priority locations [ICSEA < 1000] one brand new book per term during Years 3 to 6. Students learn to share and look after each other’s property but at the same time, and most importantly, they are reading lots of books.
Deliver Measurable 21st Century Skills in Your Classrooms Today!
With over a decade of experience delivering student programs and Teacher Professional Learning in NSW primary schools, Life Skills Group is now bringing measurable 21st Century Skills learning into classrooms with this innovative, new online platform!
Life Skills GO is a blended learning platform using animation, interactive games and puzzles to provide teachers flexible, age-appropriate lessons that meet curriculum requirements for developing young people’s social, emotional and physical skills. Using real-time data analytics, teachers can check the progress of individual students’ learning and wellbeing, then choose from 150 online lessons to respond to the changing needs of individual students and whole classrooms. This empowers schools to address the mandated skills of social emotional learning, which are aligned to the new National wellbeing framework, a focus which is also reciprocated across 20 countries of the OECD, including Australia.
