From the Principal
Commitment to learning: Teachers have continued on a learning journey through a series of professional learning sessions
based on our School priority of providing purposeful learning through appropriate curriculum, engaging pedagogy and use of appropriate technology. Last Wednesday teachers attended a
professional learning session at School on Building a Feedback Culture. This is an area that Ms Rudolf and Mrs Rowley were
particularly interested in, after attending the Teaching and Learning Conference in Melbourne earlier this year. Teachers are very keen
to improve their teaching practice by supporting each other in the classroom through targeted observation of practice. Ms Rudolf and
Mrs MacGregor presented at the state Maths Conference recently and following this Ms Rudolf has been selected by Curriculum
Services (DoE) to be funded to attend the national conference in Canberra in July. This is a testament to the leadership and
approach being taken in Maths at Ogilvie.
Digital Literacy School Grant: Ogilvie High School was the only high school in Tasmania to be awarded a federal government Digital Literacy School Grant
and part of this $50,000 grant will be used to fund Mr Hortle and Mrs J Williams to attend the EduTech Conference this week allowing them to then share their
learning with teachers. The grant will also be used to fund our project, #codelikeagirlprojectOHS to increase the exposure of girls to Digital
Technologies through school wide implementation of Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies and a primary school outreach program, through which
Grade 5 & 6 students from our feeder primary schools will have opportunities to work with peer leaders from Grade 7 & 8.
Mr Hortle and Mrs J Williams are also interested in finding out more about ClickView, which will
