God Strand Preparation for Meeting

God Staff Meeting - Term 3, 2015

Meeting date: Wednesday 19 August, 3.15, in Ruma Koru
Purpose: 1. To review and interpret previous assessments.
2. To reconnect with the theology and curriculum progression behind the God strand, and
3. To revise the  key ideas we want children to understand and deepen as they move through the school.


Any files containing student information are private to us.  Everything else is public.
Our first step  is to review our assessment information from 2014 and see who our targeted learners are. How is this reflected in our teaching?
1. Review from 2014 the "end point" for our school leaver of what we would like them to know about God

Step 1: Have a look at the key learning objectives for each year level: https://docs.google.com/a/stjoseph.school.nz/file/d/0B5kVPCsXjRbYMTN6SFFxa2lTS0E/edit

Holy Spirit Whanau Groups

At the end of each learning strand we meet as a school in our whanau groups to share what we have learnt. It is such a special time where you witness brothers and sisters learning off each other. All the children return to their classes buzzing with information and proud of what they have shared. We try to have our celebration whanau groups followed by our assessment. Here are some short clips of some of the whanau groups sharing. They always begin with the Gospel of the week and a pray before sharing.
