Life Education
The Primary School Modules consist of 12 purpose built, issue specific and age appropriate modules
designed to engage, inspire and empower students. The Mobile Learning Centres provide a unique
learning environment and the trained educators use an innovative teaching and learning approach to
engage students. The program, launched with the establishment in 1979, remains at the core of the
work. Designed by health and education experts, constant revisions ensure relevancy and
appropriateness for all students. The program is not a rulebook, it does not dictate to children and this is
essential to the success. It provides the information, understanding, skills and strategies students require
to make safe decisions about their own health and well-being.
Please ensure you return the new permission note. It will indicate if you have already paid or if you
need to pay for this event.
Athletics
The staff will be running field events with the classes next week. Students in years 2-6 will be required to
wear their sports uniform on Tuesday and Wednesday for these events.

Staff Professional Development
Effective Feedback
Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on learning and achievement – if you get it right. John
Hattie’s Visible Learning research concluded that effective feedback, combined with effective instruction,
improves the rate of learning by a factor of 2. But first, educators must know the difference between
effective and ineffective feedback. On Wednesday afternoon the staff engaged in a keynote where
Professor John Hattie explained how to distinguish between the two and provided answers to some of the
most crucial questions about effective feedback.
The staff engaged in breakout rooms with colleagues from schools within our network for this powerful
learning experience. I would like to thank Eastwood Public School for the invitation to this event.
