Hands-on Maths in Prep
Why is hands-on maths important?
Teaching through hands-on activities in maths focuses students' attention on ideas and sense making and developing mathematical practices. Teaching through hands-on maths also develops a student's confidence and builds on their strengths.
Prep K have been exploring their mathematical skills through hands-on activities in the classroom during maths groups. Way to go!
QParents
We kindly ask that all NFSS families register with QParents.
QParents is a parent portal that we are progressing towards making our one-stop-shop platform for parents. Recent upgrades to the functionality of QParents, means that it will become a portal for permissions for school excursions.
QParents is available via either a website or a handy app, which enables fast access to pay multiple invoices at once and provide multiple permissions at once.
