Flinders Public School was delighted to welcome Secretary of the Department of Education Mark Scott to our school. Secretary Scott was welcomed to our school by some of our Year 6 leaders, treated to a tour of our beautiful school grounds and visited some of our classrooms and saw some of the fabulous teaching and learning activities that take place here at Flinders Public School.
2G, 2L, Mr Lew and Ms Gavin once again wowed us with their revitalised version of our school song and enjoyed sharing what they are currently learning with Secretary Scott. 4/5C were actively engaged in a highly stimulating Mathematics lesson involving planning a pizza party and 4O showcased their Guided Reading Groups and were engaged in a number of Literacy based activities.
Flinders Public School staff were also able to share their Strengthening Teachers Entering the Profession (STEP) program with Secretary Scott. This program was developed by staff at Flinders Public School in line with the Department of Education's Great Teaching Inspired Learning initiative and seeks to foster strong partnerships between the University of Wollongong, local primary schools and Teacher Education Students.
At Flinders Public School, we strive to provide high quality teaching and learning opportunities for our students. It was wonderful to be able to share a portion of these activities with Secretary Scott.
