Transformation takes teamwork
Teachers and learners joined our LEARN and Ignition teams in the proactive set-up process of each classroom transformation and great fun was had by all. From the cleaning and set up of book shelves, carpets and cushions, to the stock taking and placement of books and literacy charts, each classroom is now a bright and engaging space for learning and reading. Teachers enjoyed a literacy training workshop and already positive progress is being noted in the improvement of reading levels within the Foundation Phase.
”“Our heartfelt gratitude for the 19 classroom bookcorners generously established at our school.Your donation will take the school very far interms of supporting our journey in enhancingchildren’s literacy. Thank you for such a kind gesture!”
