Check out this newly published blog post by our wonderful Ms. Ginna Daza.

https://www.novakeducation.com/blog/why-teaching-about-neurodiversity-benefits-all-students-in-your-class?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacLSy2pmwV38IVbWi3pIDYJCfVBFhPv7dbOKf5tTFEzGgKwRjSr_6cagAZmfw_aem_eV5Nc2ny-nuo3Hi7KvXFEw

Here’s a glimpse into this practical and empowering article.

When we teach about neurodiversity, we’re not only supporting neurodivergent students; we’re empowering all students to reflect on their own learning and the choices they have to access it.

Teaching students about neurodiversity isn’t just about raising awareness—it’s about fostering a culture of empathy, understanding, and inclusion. It’s about helping students see the “jaggedness” in themselves and others, recognizing that everyone has unique strengths and challenges. When we teach about neurodiversity, we’re not only supporting neurodivergent students; we’re empowering all students to reflect on their own learning and the choices they have to access it.

Thankful for Ginna and her experience and wisdom that contributes to the “jaggedness” in our community.

Hey team,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is our Athletics Day event.

During your closing circle this afternoon, may I please ask for your help in doing a final reminder for students to bring:

• sports shoes
• drink bottle
• hat and suncream
• plenty of healthy snacks
• and most importantly to wear house shirts

If you have any last-minute questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

See you out there tomorrow!

Dear Primary Teachers

The MEGA relay teams have been finalised. Please carefully check the student names in the tables below and make the information available to the class.

Could the relay teams and reserve runners please be excused at 2.30 pm today for a short practice. Bo and I will come around to collect them.

Please let us know if the students are away or in specialist lessons.

Sorry in advance for any disruptions.

Just a heads-up that my Grade 6 French class will be moving around the school for a treasure hunt activity today during Block 2. We’ll do our best to be respectful and quiet in the halls.

Thanks for your understanding!
Merci,

Ophelie
