13.01.2022 A big gratitude thankyou post to all of our staff and students at Fern Bay Public School. We are racing towards the end of our first full term of face to face teaching in 2020. Interesting to reflect on this fact. This week I have had the privilege of being in classrooms completing formal lesson observations in every classroom at Fern Bay Public School. In each classroom I admire all of our teaching staff's commitment to improving student learning outcomes. I also admire thei...r deep understanding of every students’ abilities in all of the classrooms and the strategies they use to differentiate their teaching methods. I am most proud of all our students' effort and commitment to learn. I am also very grateful to all of the SASS staff that support our teachers and students on a daily basis. Well done Fern Bay Public School students and staff as we celebrate our first full term of face to face teaching. #gratitude #teamwork #qualityteaching #learning #differentiated learning #respect #responsible #inclusive #grateful Mr Janetzki Principal Fern Bay Public School At Fern Bay Public School every student is known, valued and cared for.
