The Middle Years Literacy Project aims to improve the literacy outcomes of students across the Meander Valley Cluster. Colleagues from all schools in our cluster, collaborate and plan together, to provide consistent and common literacy approaches for our students. Teachers collect, analyse and use data to inform teaching and learning to improve learning outcomes. Progress is moderated through the use of a common assessment model across the cluster.

Thelma Purso’s problem solving framework is implemented across all classrooms K-6. This framework encourages students to think and work mathematically through practising the skills of clarifying, choosing, using, interpreting and communicating. Number talks are also a focus in Mathematics to provide students with opportunities to explain and share their mental strategies.
