Our school has a highly effective literacy program, and we invest a lot of time and effort into this very important skill set. From the beginning of their first year, our Prep students are immersed in an oral language program involving rich language experiences through hands-on activities. We talk of a Prep through to Year 2 ‘journey,’ where all students are monitored and explicit teaching is used so students are set up for success from the outset of their schooling. Each teaching team regularly plans for common high expectations for all students, and targeted instruction for our studentcentred teaching and learning. We are committed to ensure that the ‘Ranfurly Good Lesson Model’ engages all students in literacy with focussed lessons, accessing quality literature and engagement through constant use of up-to-date technology in flexible learning environments.
