Literacy & Numeracy

Our year 7 and 8 students participate in two weekly sessions dedicated to improving literacy skills.

The program utilises the most up to date, evidence-based research to facilitate student growth in all areas of literacy.

Each student is assessed in fluency and comprehension multiple times throughout the year while some may also be assessed in phonics. The information gained from this data is used to flexibly group students and thus target specific student needs.

Within these two dedicated literacy sessions each week there is further opportunities for students to receive individualised support. Students may be selected to work in intervention for roughly ten minutes of their literacy session. These students are selected based on a need for support or extension in literacy.
