Rotary+Park+Milestone+6

__ Rotary ____ Park School __ __ November 2008 __ · There have been a lot of staff challenges at Rotary Park School this year and will be more next year so our focus has been concentrating on our strengths and sharing our knowledge. This has been successful so far with all staff feeling quite confident in their Inquiry teaching or happy to seek help from colleagues if necessary. · Attending the Graham Watts course and Kath Murdoch course as a staff was very beneficial as we all heard the same messages. Upon walking into most of the classrooms you will see some of the practical ideas shared being used in our teaching practices. Listening to Kath Murdoch also reaffirmed for us that we are on the right track which was a great feeling. · Teachers have enjoyed the visits/ tours through other schools as well as observing teachers in action in classrooms. This was particularly helpful for a teacher returning from maternity leave. · As a school we have made the decision to go with School Master management system. This term has seen all staff having training in a staff meeting as well as getting one on one training to suit our individual needs. The next step for our school is to decide which aspects of school master we will put into practice next year school wide.
