positions at Maroubra Junction PS. Jeff Gold will relieve in the Assistant
Principal role for Stage 3 until the end of term one. We welcome him to the

COMPREHENSION SKILLS
This week all staff attended a professional learning session on comprehension
strategies, run by Dace Elletson—Principal of La Perouse Public School. This was
a fantastic and highly regarded session. Staff were informed of the importance
of six ‘super’ strategies;

summarising
Over the coming weeks staff will be teaching these strategies to all students. To
assist parents, each week we will focus on one strategy in the newsletter with
ways you can help at home.
STUDENT WELFARE
Last year our school revisited the school behaviour policy with the aim of a
consistent approach across all areas by staff, students and families. Parents can
help by talking about these values and rules with their children.
