STUDENT FREE DAY: Friday 11th December 2020
As our teaching teams for 2021 are now established, Gillen Primary School will be having a Staff Planning Day on Friday of Week 9. Teachers will be working very hard to make sure every thing is in place to continue the excellent learning our students have done throughout 2020. As we are changing our structure and some roles, there is some very important work to be done. We appreciate your support in this matter.
Structure for 2021
After meeting to plan for 2021 considering enrolments and budgetary constraints, we have come up with the following model. The biggest change is that we will not be able to run the two stand-alone Year 6 classes. We have created an excellent and experienced team, and they will build a program based on the outstanding work done over the past three years. We will also be delivering a Digital Technologies program across the school, taught by Kym Lowson.
3 x 5/6 Classes: Ms Ahokava, Mr Axten, Mis Thompson
1 x 4 Class: Ms Podewils
1 x 3 Class: Mrs Ashdale
2 x 1/2 Classes: Miss Minnie and Mis Yang
2 x Transition Classes: Miss Pedrotti and Mis Torii
2 x Preschool groups: Miss Cherrilee and Miss Carly
