This year, St James has three Annual School Goals. These will be focusing on
- Catholic
Identity,
- Learning and Teaching and
- Wellbeing.
Within Catholic Identity our school will be
working to review and revitalise the Catholic Identity of St James. In Learning and
Teaching, our school will be working towards refining and embedding a whole school
consistent approach to the teaching of reading, that is data responsive and aligned to the
Australian Curriculum English (V9) and lastly our Wellbeing goal is focused on establishing
whole school wellbeing initiatives that support the growth and development of all members
of the community and establish and embed Positive Behaviours 4 Learning (PB4L) across
the school. More information about these goals, including progress will be shared
throughout the year.
One exciting development in within our Wellbeing Goal, is a review and relaunch of our
whole school expectations. St James is committed to having clear and concise language
about behaviour expectations across all year levels. Prep to Year Six students are
developing a shared language of what is expected of all members of our school
community.
We have used the image of Super Jimmy, to teach the students about our St James School
Values – Be a Learner, Be Safe, Be Responsible and Be Respectful. As our students
learn this common language and it becomes embedded within our school, we will be
linking these positive behaviours to student awards. You may even see a few superheroes
in capes around the school, looking for positive behaviours! Take a look at our new St
James School Values.
