Weekly Wrap Up
Dear Families, one of the highlights this week was our Signing Choir auditioning for the Festival of Music, a wonderful opportunity to showcase their hard work and talents. We also celebrated learning at the Wara Learning Hub assembly, the student learning hub leaders spoke confidently and proudly shared their learning.
At Brighton, we know that learning never stops, not just for our students, but for our staff too. Today our staff engaged in professional learning around the South Australian Curriculum and Aboriginal Culture. We explored ways to support our students in developing important learner dispositions, like resilience and curiosity. We know that building strong learner dispositions is key to helping our students thrive in all areas of their learning journey.
Uncle Tamaru is passionate about sharing his culture and language with others. Today our staff had the pleasure of learning alongside him. We were inspired by his stories, his depth of knowledge and love of his language. Staff are motivated to bring their learning into the classroom. Did you know that the roads around Victoria Square are in the shape of the Kaurna shield?
Enjoy the long weekend.
Warm Regards, Rebecca
Buzzing to begin at Brighton
We are proud of our Transition to School program called Buzzy Bees, designed to help every child feel confident and excited about starting their school journey.
Our program includes six Buzzy Bees sessions where children get to explore the classrooms, meet their teachers, and make new friends. We also build strong connections with local preschools by inviting their children to visit our school and our Foundation classes visit preschools too, helping to support the transition and build a sense of belonging.
We also know how important it is to support parents during this time, which is why we offer parent sessions where families can learn about the school, ask questions, and connect with staff and other families.
Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming start to school life, helping each child feel comfortable, make friends, and become familiar with their new school environment. With 41 children set to begin their formal schooling at Brighton in Term 3, we can’t wait to see them thrive as part of our school community.
