From the Principal…...
- School Tours:
The Primary School roll continues to grow with 4 new students commencing by the begining of Term 4. Each new child is carefully guided into the culture of Wentworth life. The focus of treating our students as individuals, carefully managing their educational development based on their ability and readiness to progress is centre to our philosphy.
The Primary teachers work closely as a team, reviewing all children's progress, putting in place clear learning expectations with observable outcomes which can be reported on.
Current parents are most welcome to invite friends to tour the school and to find out more about the Primary School philosphy and operation.
- Maths Week:
It is pleasing to see both students and parents getting involved in fun filled events like Maths week and the Maths Cup Competition. I am delighted to see that the Primary and College continue to work together in these types of events. This mentoring environment helps to build bonds within Wentworth and strengthens the cooperation between the College and Primary. Thanks to James Banyard, Sam Clarke, Olivia Harter, Ben Hume, Shani White, Alexandra Smith, Cameron Hughes and Olivia Skelton for their assistance.
