What an amazing week we have had here at DPS! Book Week saw some pirates take over the office, some amazing classroom displays and a COVID safe parade! Everyone looked fabulous!
In visiting some classes this week and chatting to students about their learning, we saw 3C complete the summarises of Non-fiction texts about Polar Bears, Year One have been weighing objects in Maths and Prep have been inferring a character’s feelings using clues in the text. Some amazing learning!
Tomorrow we have selected students from Year 6 to engage in the Virtual Geelong Youth Summit! The Regional Youth Voice are a collective of Young People who reside across the G21 region who are supported through a partnership between the City of Greater Geelong, Surf Coast Shire, Golden Plains Shire and Colac Area Health. Last year our student leaders attended and one was successful in being elected to the Geelong Youth Council. Students will hear from experts, use teamwork and design thinking to help find innovative solutions to the issue of isolation and loneliness. Project concepts developed on the day will be presented to an expert panel including the CEO of Headspace who will select projects to be funded and delivered across the G21 region.
