Our Lady of the Southern Cross along with St Francis - Tarneit, St Martin De Porres - Laverton and
St Peter Sunshine - Sth West, have been working with Michael Ymer, an internationally
recognized expert in mathematics education over the last 18 months. Michael has worked with
our whole staff groups on 2 occasions, hosted at OLSC and has then worked with each year level
conducting in school and after school workshops, modeling practice and supporting staff
planning.
We have had two workshop days a couple of weeks ago for the Year 5 / 6 and the Prep teachers
and next week OLSC will host the Year 3 & 4 staff from our own and other schools as they work
with Michael and our Year 1 & 2 teachers are going to St Francis to work with Michael on
Tuesday.
As has been mentioned in the newsletter over the last few weeks, Michael Ymer will be
conducting a parent maths information evening at our school on Monday from 6.30 ? 8pm in the
sports centre. We hope that all our parents will be able to make the time to come along to the
