Minilit

Learning Support will be a little different for some of the younger children this year as they take part in a Minilit program.  Minilit stands for Meeting Initial Needs in Literacy.   It was developed at Macquarie University and has its roots in scientific research and development.

Minilit incorporates the key elements of early reading programs: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary development and text comprehension.

Hopefully this intensive small group instruction will strengthen the children’s early reading skills and help them on their path to becoming confident readers.

Welcome!

Dear Parents,

Welcome to 2017 at St Luke's Bayview Campus!

I love this picture as it reminds me that a year at school is about all about growth: educational, physical and most importantly, emotional and social growth.

As the Learning Support teacher I have met all the new children from Years 1 to 6 and spent some time getting to know them and working with them in Literacy and Numeracy.

In my regular timetable I will work with children in class, in groups, one on one, in my room - a variety of ways based on the needs of the child and the activity undertaken.  

I look forward to meeting you next Friday night at the Parent Welcome Night.
