School Principal Ms Mary Refalo on left with Miss Rebecca Reynolds and Mrs Catherine Mills.
Congratulations to Mrs Mills, Miss Reynolds and Ms Sundstrom, who graduated last week from their Enhancing Mathematical Understanding (EMU) course.
EMU teaches teachers to transform student learning through specialised intervention in Mathematics.
The EMU Program is designed to enable all students to learn Mathematics successfully. It involves small groups of students identified as mathematically-vulnerable working with a trained EMU specialist teacher to accelerate their mathematical understanding.
The Catherine McAuley EMU teachers transform the numeracy learning of our students everyday. Congratulations!

AROUND THE CLASSROOMS ➡ Students in Ms McGlone and Ms Malek's Year 9 Religious Education classes have been diligently working on a compassion challenge. They responded to the seven Corporal Works of Mercy and in teams researched their local community needs collaboratively creating a charity. Students then designed a Google site and created informative and promotional materials to visually communicate their initiatives. The students presented this compassion challenge in a gallery walk celebrating and inspiring each other to always strive for higher things. Well done girls!
