AGE APPROPRIATE PEDAGOGIES 

Last week our staff accessed professional learning from the Metropolitan Region Principal Advisers regarding Age Appropriate Pedagogies. This approach promotes a range and balance of teaching characteristics and approaches. Our staff enjoyed exploring the pedagogies and sharing their learnings with each other in creative ways. Further information regarding AAP can be found at https://earlychildhood.qld.gov.au/early-years/age-appropriate-pedagogies  

TENERIFFE FESTIVAL 

Our school received the below email from the festival organisers Immerse Events- 

I want to say a HUGE thank you to you and New Farm State School for being a part of the Teneriffe Festival 2022. 

The weather could not have been more perfect! It was a massive, incredible day and we had a record number of people with over 25,000 people who attended the festival. 

This type of community event is only possible with the support of our partners so thank you for helping us grow the Teneriffe Festival in 2022 into Brisbane's signature street festival. 

We have plenty of pictures from the festival and a wrap up video on the way, so keep an eye out for that! We will also be sending out a feedback / questionnaire to all of our partners where we hope you can provide any necessary feedback so that we can continually improve and expand the event.  

I want to thank you again for your support in creating a wonderful event and we're counting down the days until the next one. 

We look forward to working with you again soon.
