This year we continue to focus on our College Goals identified during our School Review in 2024.
Our school review goals include a focus on student achievement, engagement, and numeracy outcomes and strengthening our Maronite Catholic identity.
From our school review goals, we create an annual action plan and use this to guide our focus areas each term. You can see listed below each school goal are the opportunities we will focus on during 2026.
School Goal – To improve student engagement
Students and teachers are using conferencing and data to set learning goals each Semester based on school instructional approaches
School Goal – To improve student achievement
Consistent classroom routines and the College Instructional Model are embedded across the College
Professional learning for teachers in explicit instruction
School Goal – To strengthen the Maronite Catholic Identity
Develop Staff Faith Formation
Trial the new Religion units developed by Melbourne Archdiocese of Catholic Schools & support Religion teachers to build their understanding of Religion instructional practice, curriculum, assessment and reporting against Religious Education standards
CSYMI / Spíritus Program is implemented across the College
School Goal – To improve student numeracy outcomes
A lesson structure and unit planning approach that includes daily review and workshop is implemented. The College Instructional Model for Numeracy – Mathematics is Reasoning - is reflected in the planning template and process. \
Targeted intervention groups are developed with a maths focus
Curriculum Overviews
Teachers have prepared Curriculum Overviews and communicated these to families for Term 1. These include Important Dates and Information for upcoming events.
I have linked our College Curriculum F-10 Overview. It’s nice to see the progression of topics across Foundation to Year 10 and the range of subjects our students can engage with on their learning journey.
We look forward to Cedar families joining classes during the Open Mornings. Any opportunity to celebrate and share student learning is welcome.
