23.01.2022 Many students are kinesthetic learners (they learn best with their body). Our bodies can be used to tell stories, help us listen, express ourselves and help us become present, centred and grounded. We connect our students with their bodies many times throughout the day. Our brain, body and breath are all central to focus and learning. #kinestheticlearners #presentcentredgrounded #brainbodybreath #growthmindset #focussedlearning #learningtogether #workingtogether #stmonicasfootscray #smallschoolbigdifference #footscraylovesyou #footscraylife #ilovefootscray

19.01.2022 If you can't go to the Sovereign Hill and the goldfields - think outside the square! A modern day twist on life on the goldfields. Putting up tents, digging for gold, making wanted posters with barely any dirt in sight . An afternoon of problem solving and exploration that required patience, good humour and team work. #thinkoutsidethesquare #moderndaytwist #diggingforgold #lifeonthegoldfields #goldfields #puttinguptents #teamwork #fun #nodirt #covidsolutions #noexcursionsin2020 #makeyourownfun #smallschoolbigdifference #stmonicasfootscray #learningtogether #workingtogether #learningcommunity #covidsafe

18.01.2022 Wow! What great results today everyone! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and we are celebrating (in a covid safe way of course!)! For data enthusiasts out there, the rolling fortnightly average is now down to 20.3. I'm getting so excited, I want to put all the data into a spreadsheet and create some graphs!! #reallifemaths #mathsforlife #flatteningthecurve #workingtogether #followtheroadmap #learningtogether #melbournelockdown #staythecourse #eyesontheprize #smallschoolbigdifference #footscray #covidnormal #staysafe #wearamask #washyourhands #physicallydistance #stmonicasfootscray #todaysnumber

17.01.2022 Getting another compost bin! Reducing our waste and composting our own green waste helps make our school more sustainable. The only way to make this a successful program is to have it led by our Senior Leaders and getting all the students on board. #reducewaste #compostkids #sustainableprogram #gettinggreener #leadersoftoday #leadersoftomorrow #smallschoolbigdifference #footscraygardens #innercitygardensmelbourne #innercityschoolmelbourne #aiminghigh #growthmindset #kitchengarden #stmonicasfootscray

15.01.2022 Today's number might be up slightly to 16, however, our rolling fortnightly average is still trending downwards to 22.1! This is so thrilling! Looking forward to Premier's announcement today as we hear about easing of some restrictions. Some media is speculating information about onsite learning for Years 3-10. Stay tuned!

15.01.2022 There’s still a few days left... if I’d made a tally of how many times I’d heard I’m bored these holidays, I’d be able to buy something special at the supermarket

13.01.2022 There should be something for everyone at the upcoming Senior Business Stalls - from Christmas decorations to jewellery to bath bombs to slime. #mindyourownbusiness #seniorbusinessstalls #youngentrepreneurs #makeandsell #fromlittlethingsbigthingsgrow #inspirational #kidsbusiness #smallschoolbigdifference #learningbydoing #handsonlearning #stmonicasfootscray #footscraybusiness

13.01.2022 Collaboration is a skill for life. We explicitly teach collaborative learning skills from Years Prep to Six through games and group tasks. As our world changes, we must prepare our students for skills and jobs for the future. #collaborativelearning #learningtogether #smallschoolbigdifference #futurelearners #workingtogether #aiminghigh #explicitteaching #learningcommunity #stmonicasfootscray #footscrayeducation #futureleaders #skillsforlife

11.01.2022 I'm sure lots of families are excited with today's news regarding the return of all primary school students from 12th October. Hopefully the Years 7-10 will back onsite not long after. Our students have shown incredible resilience and flexibility in how they have adapted to multiple learning platforms while working remotely and trying stay connected to friends. They will be fabulous leaders of our world one day! #resilience #flexibility #adaptability #backtoschool #october12 #countdown #keepupthegoodwork #wearamask #washyourhands #physicallydistance #followtheplan #melbourneschools #educationfootscray #backtogetheragain #lockdownmelbourne #ilovefootscray #workingtogether #learningtogether #stmonicasfootscray #learningcommunity #smallschoolbigdifference

08.01.2022 Thursday's number of 15 is almost neck and neck with the rolling fortnightly average of 15.6. What will happen tomorrow with the fortnightly average? What's your prediction? #reallifemaths #mathsforlife #flatteningthecurve #workingtogether #followtheroadmap #learningtogether #melbournelockdown #staythecourse #eyesontheprize #smallschoolbigdifference #footscray #covidnormal #staysafe #wearamask #washyourhands #physicallydistance #stmonicasfootscray #todaysnumber #metromelbourne #proud #staystrong #wevegotthis

06.01.2022 Taking enrolments for 2021. Are you interested in a small school? Do you want your child to be a known and valued member of a community? Do you want a school which always strives to make a difference?

06.01.2022 Today is Tuesday and our number of covid cases in Victoria has risen to double digits, but it's only 10. Our rolling fortnightly average is now below 20, 18.2. With only six sleeps till remote learning begins again and thirteen sleeps till primary students are back onsite, today is certainly a great day for numbers and data! There is so much to celebrate! #reallifemaths #mathsforlife #flatteningthecurve #workingtogether #followtheroadmap #learningtogether #melbournelockdown #staythecourse #eyesontheprize #smallschoolbigdifference #footscray #covidnormal #staysafe #wearamask #washyourhands #physicallydistance #stmonicasfootscray #todaysnumber #celebrate #happy

05.01.2022 Today's number is lucky 13 on this windy Wednesday. Our rolling fortnightly average keeps rolling down to 16.4 in Metro Melbourne. Be proud, stay strong and see the end in sight.

04.01.2022 Learning and researching can be done in the outdoors! There are many ways to learn and find information from trusted and reliable sources. Collaborating and experimenting together is a great way to learn and develop a growth mindset. Think outside the square - where do you learn best? #wecanlearnanywhere #learningoutdoors #collaborativelearning #workingtogether #sustainablelearners #seekingknowledge #growthmindset #sharingknowledge #learningtogether #stmonicasfootscray #smallschoolbigdifference
