Westport PS was proud to congratulate our first graduates of the Parents as Teachers and Classroom Helpers course run during Terms 2 and 3. Three enthusiastic mums, Kara, Kelly and Heidi were presented with certificates to recognise their completion of the course, by our Principal Mr Tony Johnston, during a celebratory afternoon tea. All 3 ladies were very positive about the content of the sessions and the application of their new knowledge to students in class and their own children.
……..it made me aware of the different teaching techniques used today to allow a broad range of children to learn in different ways.
……..very informative and helpful in learning how my child learns.
……..I can now help teach my child better at home, to assist- not hinder-classroom teaching
…….the kids I worked with were an absolute pleasure and working with them in the patch program has also taught me other ways to encourage learning (different games etc) with my own son
Congratulations ladies! We look forward to seeing you volunteering in our classrooms in weeks to come.
Expressions of interest for our 2019 sessions will be advertised soon, everyone is welcome.
