Dear Families, this week the Tirntu Learning Hub (Year 5-6) came together for our first Hub Assembly for 2026. Our Learning Hub Assemblies are an important part of our school culture. They bring children together across the learning hub, strengthen our sense of belonging, and give us time to celebrate what it means to learn and grow as a community. It was fantastic to see students settling confidently into this shared routine so early in the year. Families are very welcome to attend the Learning Hub Assemblies held on Wednesdays. Please see the school calendar and events on the website for dates and times.

Our Year 6 students are encouraged to participate in the Brighton Community Award. This program recognises and celebrates students who contribute positively to our school and wider community. Examples include roles such as traffic monitors, office jobs, running lunchtime activities and supporting in the produce garden. Through the Community Program, students can be acknowledged for these contributions, reinforcing that every action that helps others matters. We are excited to see this program grow across the year and to continue celebrating the many ways our students live our values each day.

We are also looking forward to seeing parents and carers at our upcoming Parent Information Night next Tuesday 10 February. This will be a great opportunity to meet your child’s teachers, learn more about the teaching and learning program for 2026, and understand how we can continue to work together in partnership to support your child’s learning and wellbeing.

Enjoy the weekend.

Warm Regards, Rebecca

We would like to take a moment to introduce ourselves to the Brighton community in our roles as Autism Inclusion Teachers.

Our role is to support autistic students across the school by working collaboratively with classroom teachers, support staff, students, and families. We focus on creating inclusive learning environments that recognise students’ strengths, support their individual needs, and promote a strong sense of belonging.

For 2026:

• Michaley Batty will be supporting students in Foundation to Year 2
• Andy Sommers will be working with students in Years 3–6

We work closely with classroom teachers to support inclusive classroom practices, provide guidance around adjustments and strategies, and help students feel safe, understood, and supported at school. We also value strong partnerships with families and welcome open communication.

If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to share information that may help support your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact us via the Front Office.

We are committed to ensuring every child gets the right support at the right time. Our Intervention and Inclusion Teachers play a key role in making this happen through our tiers of intervention approach. This year we have two highly skilled full time Intervention and Inclusion Teachers, Allyson and Kate.

What are the tiers of intervention?
All students receive high quality teaching in the classroom (Tier 1). Some students may need a little extra support for a period of time, this is provided through targeted small group intervention (Tier 2) which may be provided by the classroom teacher or by Allyson or Kate. A small number of students may require more intensive, individualised support (Tier 3). Movement between tiers is flexible and based on student progress and need.

Intervention and Inclusion Teachers work alongside classroom teachers to provide Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions. These targeted interventions are designed to help students build confidence, close learning gaps, and make meaningful progress. Support may take place in small groups or one to one, and is carefully planned using assessment data and ongoing monitoring. Parents are notified if their child would benefit from learning with Allyson or Kate.

Together with classroom teachers and families, our Intervention and Inclusion Teachers help ensure all students are supported to thrive. If you would like to discuss your child's learning or wellbeing, please reach out to your child's classroom teacher.

Every Wednesday 8.00-8.30am on the oval with Izzie Notridge.

All year levels welcome ( Foundation, year 1, 2 and 3 require parents to be present each week)

Come and enjoy running games and fun activities
