Learning and Teaching
A focus on the improvement of student achievement in literacy has been evident in 2013 at St Anthony’s, linked to the Federal Government’s Literacy and Numeracy National Partnerships initiative. The Literacy Enrichment Teacher (LET) improves the quality of instruction and therefore literacy outcomes for our students by stimulating robust, innovative literacy learning at our school and facilitating strategically reflective literary practices.
In 2013 St Anthony’s placed a large emphasis on consistency in planning, investing considerable time and financial resources to improve the standard of planning and delivery of the curriculum across the school. The benefits of this project will be seen from 2014 onwards.
