A focus on “differentiated learning” is helping students in a Logan school excel.
St Clare’s Primary Principal Liesl Profke said the Yarrabilba school was one of Logan’s top-performing schools.
“At St Clare’s we are proud of the strong foundation we build for students across all phases of learning, Prep to Year 6,” Ms Profke said.
“Differentiated learning is prioritised in all classes with students in the Early Years being supported each day by up to four staff members who provide targeted, individualised learning support.”
She said the support helped students achieve excellent outcomes in literacy and numeracy.
“Our school’s extended Learning and Teaching and Support Team plays a key role in shaping our students’ educational experience by creating equity through consistent learning approaches across all classrooms.”
Ms Profke said St Clare’s was one of 146 Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) schools across South-East Queensland taking part in a special region-wide Open Week between April 28 and May 4.
She said on Tuesday, April 29, the school would host a special session where she would meet prospective families and they would be able to explore the school’s learning environments, discover its innovative programs, and diverse co-curricular opportunities.
“Alongside the strong foundation provided in literacy and numeracy, it is vital that students also had opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities that nurture wellbeing, resilience, leadership, and personal growth.
“We are proud to offer sporting opportunities through our partnerships with development officers from the NRL and NRLW Titans, Brisbane Broncos, Queensland Netball, and the AFL,” she said.
Ms Profke said the school would also being taking part in BCE’s STEM MAD competition for the first time this year, giving students the chance to showcase their talents within the STEM space.
“We also foster a love of learning through our Friday afternoon activity sessions, which students in Years 3-6 can select as electives at the start of each Term.
“Through these activity sessions, students explore their passions in areas like coding, podcasting, drama, choir, STEM, textiles, and sport.”
She said as a vibrant multicultural school, with students identifying strongly as active members of over 25 cultural groups, students were encouraged to celebrate and experience their cultures through a variety of programs and activities led by dedicated members of staff.
