In recent weeks, Dinawan students have been enthusiastically embracing new challenges and advancing in their educational journey. Their achievements in Literacy are noteworthy, with a focus on mastering diagraphs, trigraphs, homophones, as well as understanding simple and complex sentences, and enhancing comprehension and fluency in reading. This progress marks a significant leap in the academic success of many students.

Our comprehensive Literacy program plays a crucial role in supporting students to excel in their literacy skills. Alongside this program, we provide individualised support in reading, employing effective tools such as Dibbles, WARL, and WARP assessments, along with running records. These initiatives ensure that each student receives personalised attention to thrive in their literacy development.

In addition to our achievements in the above areas, Dinawan students have been delving into the rich heritage of the First Nations of Australia, the world's oldest continuous culture. We've immersed ourselves in understanding Mabo Day and the profound significance of Reconciliation. Students have found great enjoyment in exploring both new and familiar aspects of the culture and traditions of our First Nations People.

Moreover, we've had the privilege of collaborating with Clontarf to forge lasting connections. Together, we've explored cultural learning through various mediums such as art, music, and storytelling ("yarn"). These experiences have enriched our understanding and appreciation of Indigenous culture, fostering a deeper sense of unity and respect within our school community.
