GCU welcomes in 2013!

Mr Meyer, the new Principal of Woodlands Primary

Firstly we would like to wish all our followers supporters and members a very Happy New Year. We hope you have enjoyed the festive season and are ready to face the challenges of the new year. As ever the beginning of the year is full of optimism and excitement and this year is no different, the team are pumped to take GCU into a new and successful year stronger than ever.

GCU has been back just one week but what a week it has been. Already the team have started school sports, Librarians have been busy organizing, covering and labeling books and we have had our first training session for the year welcoming in some new staff into the WordWorks team :) We have also completed our first round of assessments for our Woodlands students selected for additional reading and tutoring help.

Woodlands has also welcomed the new principal Mr Meyer which is very exciting for everyone, it is clear he is a very hands on individual which is great and we are looking forward to building our relationship with him in the months to come. 

We also received some great news about results from the government exams taken by our grade 3's last year. In 2011, Woodlands attained 0% in both maths and literacy, in 2012 the grade 3's in Literacy scored an amazing 19.4% and in maths 33.33%. This truly is a testament to the handwork of all the teachers and GCU's assistance in the library and in tutoring. A great way to start the year!
