Thank you for your support as we continue to boost the literacy level of all of our students here at College. One reason for our success in literacy this year has been our purchase of an enjoyable online program, Literacy Planet, for all students in Years 7, 8 and 9.
Strong literacy skills have always been important to us here at the College. Together with our excellent teaching staff and other programs that we already have in place, we hope that this online learning game may assist students, teachers and families with achieving our goals. All students in Years 7, 8 and 9 have their logins. Depending on the unit that they are studying in English, teachers may set homework and activities from Literacy Planet, although there are hundreds of exercises that students can complete, based on their current skill level. Recently, our College participated in the Word Mania Challenge, which was an excellent opportunity to showcase their spelling skills.
I would invite you to visit this website so that you can familiarise yourself with this excellent online program: http://www.literacyplanet.com/au/
I can send individual passwords to you if your son or daughter has lost their login details. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could access this website and encourage your student to complete some fun literacy games on a regular weekly basis?
If you need assistance or you have any questions, please email me back or call me on the College phone number 9608 0033 (ask for Mrs Smythe) and I can help you.
