It’s been a journey of shifting our practices Lansvale PS from balanced literacy to systematic and explicit phonics but our dedicated teachers are always ready to tackle new learning.

Thanks for hosting Budgewoi PS teachers today Yates Ave. We learnt a lot as always.

Edgeworth PS preschoolers have participated in their first Book Week! Students paraded around the school grounds bringing their favourite book characters to life. A great way to foster a love of books & reading in our littlest learners from an early age.

A great piece by Jennifer Buckingham. Thanks for sharing @MmeLockhartLDSB. On this debate, I find solace in the old Chinese proverb - “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." From 2025, we’re mandating 25 minutes daily explicit phonics teaching.

Fantastic day with fantastic people!

Thank you Yates Avenue PS for welcoming me into your school this morning. It was fantastic to observe a maths lesson taught using explicit teaching strategies. Well done David MacSporran & team for embracing an explicit teaching approach for all students with great results.
