This week, we had a visit from Troy Mott, the Director, Education Leadership Albury. He visited our Kindergarten classroom, observed an explicit phonics lesson in action, and joined our Stage 2 teachers, Miss Minall, Miss McGown, and Mrs White (APC&I), in planning quality literacy lessons for our students. It was great to share with him all the great things happening at Holbrook Public School and discuss our School Improvement Plan and what this plan looks like in our classrooms and our daily teaching and learning with students.
Thank you to the P&C and our parent community for supporting the school in running the election day barbecue, Easter raffle, and support at the cross country. Without the help and funding support, our school could not run as many whole-school and community events. These events bring our school community together and put smiles on the faces of our students. From these fundraising events, the P&C has purchased Year 3-6 readers and reading support materials for all our students and is investing in a new drink bottle filling station for students to use daily.
I want to thank the staff at Holbrook Public School for all their hard work this term. We have implemented a new curriculum for our K-2 students, been involved in professional learning and collaboration with many schools in the Albury Area, and numerous other extracurricular activities, which we have squeezed into a busy term.
I want to congratulate Will Glass and Ollie Cardile on their selection in the Riverina AFL team and Will Finlay on his selection in the Riverina Hockey team to compete at the State Championships next term.
I wish everyone a happy and safe Easter holiday break. Enjoy time with family and recharge, ready for Term 2 at Holbrook Public School.
