As Toowoomba's oldest Catholic school, St Saviour's Primary School is committed to making a difference in an ever-changing world. The school has a long tradition of providing quality education and care for Toowoomba's boys and girls and currently has a population of approx. 410 students from Prep to Year Six.
St Saviour's Primary is committed to educating its students for the future. Its innovative curriculum is designed to assist students to become lifelong learners with a firm grasp of basic numeracy and literacy skills. The school strives to develop in students the skills, attitudes and values that will enable them to reach their full potential as successful and responsible citizens.
The school has one of the best technology programmes in Toowoomba, with a whole school 1-1 iPad program. There are computers with internet access and interactive technology in every classroom. The staff are dedicated to keeping up with current educational developments.
The school pursues a "happy school" atmosphere - where each child's day is enriched with joy, friendship and personal growth. The focus is to balance physical, spiritual, social and emotional growth with academic achievement and self-discipline.
READING IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY
This week the staff have continued to attend professional development in the area of reading. As mentioned previously we are aiming to improve reading across our whole diocese in every Catholic school so that 90 to 95% of children are at the expected or above expected level of reading. We will be hosting a Reading Information Evening on Monday, 11th September at 6pm. We invite you to attend this evening as parents are crucial to this whole process. We look forward to journeying with you to help your child improve reading. Reading is a gift we can give to all of our children.
READING INFORMATION EVENING
When: 11th September – Monday Time: 6pm Where: School library
BOOK WEEK“Escape to Everywhere”
We celebrate Book Week 2017 next week with a Dress – up day on Tuesday 22nd August. The theme is “Escape to other Worlds”
Students will be asked, what or whose world they have escaped to?
Students (Years 1 – 6) will parade around the hall before the start of the morning session
This week we are thinking about the way reading allows us to escape to other times. Students are invited to write a short story or description about a time they escape to by reading. Students in Year 1W demonstrated how they escape into
their books by enjoying their free choice books this week.
