Today was the BEST day as our teachers celebrated Term 1

The achievements of the teachers at our school are amazing. At the end of each term we have a celebration of our achievements. This term we had a Cafe themed for Easter.

We celebrated the Quality Teaching that is happening in all our classrooms. Our focus for today was on sharing something we have done this term that we are proud of. The context was Reading and Writing.

We have such a wonderful mix of youth and experience and it is so exciting to be able to share and learn from each other. Every teacher in our school is a leader.

The ideas, the creativity, the innovation around the Cafe today reassured that learning in this school is engaging and exciting and the teachers are of the highest quality.

Ms Dyer and Mrs Pericles present at a conference for teachers

Inspire, innovate leading digital education 2010 is a conference that was held at NSW Department of Education and Training Technology Conference held at Acer Arena on the Olympic site at Homebush Bay.

Both Ms Dyer and Mrs Pericles were asked to present at this conference. They were very honoured as they were speaking along with a number of distinguished national and international speakers.

The two international speakers were Dr Stephen Heppell from the UK and David Warlick from the USA. They were also fortunate to hear Westley Fields from Sydney.

Ms Dyer spoke about how to get teachers using technology effectively in schools and Mrs Pericles presented a workshop on digital games based learning.

From the feedback from participants at the conference they felt both of Ms Dyer and Mrs Pericles had helped them with their developing deeper understanding of ways to use technology.
