A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
We are delighted to have all our students back after their mid-term break this week. It has been a busy, albeit short, week, with some exciting events such as a visit from musicians from Oundle School in the UK, preparations for the Solo festival, and the hosting of a conference with the renowned educational researcher, Dylan Wiliam.
As we look forward to Term 1B, we are revisiting what creates a healthy learning environment at Patana. Over the next few weeks, we'll be exploring "what makes us special" within our educational setting, and we've assigned a video project to our students for this purpose. We encourage your child to participate by submitting a video – these will be featured in upcoming assemblies. Furthermore, the year group with the most entries will earn an additional playtime!
Next Tuesday, we will be hosting a parent workshop introducing the developments in assessment and reporting. This is the 1st of 3 workshops dedicated to this topic and we hope to see you there.
Sarah McCormack
