Managing sustainable change
Umina Public School principal Ms Lyn Davis attended a workshop for principals in the week of Monday, May 27, on managing sustainable change.
"In times of rapid change I believe it is important that we understand the value behind the many changes we face in primary schools in NSW," said Ms Davis.
"A national curriculum makes a lot of sense with people more mobile than ever as they move around our wonderful country.
"As you are aware teachers from this school have spent considerable time preparing for the implementation of the new English syllabus.
"Later in the year we will work with our colleagues on the Peninsula to develop programs for teachers on the implementation of the new Maths and Science syllabus documents in 2015.
"Sharing and working together we will see all of the schools in the Brisbane Water Learning Community well equipped to implement these changes.
"Staff have already been trained in anaphylaxis this term and have completed their annual training in CPR.
"Emergency Care training is undertaken by the staff at this school on line every two years.
"This training is essential if teachers are to take children out of the school for their many and varied learning experiences," said Ms davis.
