Welcome to Term 4
Welcome back to the final term of 2009. A very busy term lies ahead as we fly through the next 8 weeks of learning!! I do hope that your three weeks of holiday time gave you time to rest and to rejuvenate with your family, and you too are embracing the new term with gusto.
E-News the Way to Go
The School Newsletter has been an integral part of our communication and has been a great asset to our School community.

Multiple Intelligences Equals Multiple Thoughts
"Unless you have people who are responsible workers and responsible citizens you will not have a society in which any of us would want to live."
Howard Gardner
Several years ago the Scots Primary School introduced the concept of Multiple Intelligences to our students. Within the HSIE program a Multiple Intelligences (MI) grid was created for each theme. Students were then able to choose from a range of different activities that would cater for specific learning styles.
