MESSAGE FROM ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
Caring Hearts, Caring Minds, Caring Actions
Individual Education Plans (previously Individual Learning Plan)
As part of our Teaching and Learning practices at Gisborne Primary School, some students have
been identified for an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Classroom teachers write these plans for
students requiring additional assistance or extension tasks who fall outside of the differentiated
program within the classroom. It also guides the work of our Education Support staff. An IEP is
structured to outline the additional strategies that will be implemented in the classroom as well
as approaches that can be used at home to support children with building on their current
learning ability and/or social, emotional need. If your child has been identified as requiring an
IEP. These will be sent home by the end of this week.
Wellbeing Counsellor
Renee Nadzielski, our new Wellbeing Counsellor will be starting at GPS on Monday. A permission
note went out via email earlier this week for families to allow Renee to see your child/ren as
needed. We understand that many families have already provided permission via hard copy,
however we are streamlining our processes by having all permission completed through the
digital form. We would appreciate it if families signed this permission via the online portal. We
are looking forward to having Renee as part of our team where she can support our students
with their wellbeing needs on a short term capacity.
Learning Walks
At GPS we have a process that supports our teaching and learning practices across the school.
Learning Walks are held each term with different focuses where a group of teachers visit a host
classroom to view the practices and speak with the children about what they are learning and
where they go for help as needed. This allows for the opportunity to celebrate our successes as
well as receive feedback and an understanding of the trends across the school, which supports
our whole school focuses and next work.
Mel Hunter, PLC Link Leader, works with schools across the Network and beyond to support them
with processes and structures and part of that is to hold Learning Walks. Along with support from
leadership, Learning Walks are held regularly across the school with our own staff as well as
having other schools visit GPS. This week we have had a school visit as well as holding our own
Learning Walks with a focus on the Wellbeing approaches across the school.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone
