Over this term, we will be welcoming ten Pre-Service Teachers to Tingalpa State School. Pre-Service teachers add value to our classrooms and are imperative in maintaining our teacher workforce.

Successful support for pre-service teachers includes facilitating engagement in critical learning activities that help them make connections between what they have learnt in their teacher education program and what they will experience in the classroom. Debriefing with their mentor after each day builds on their reflective practice skills and helps pre-service teachers embed their learnings into their ongoing practices. The benefits of positive placement experiences are significant for pre-service teachers and the local community.

Thank you so much to the staff and community at Tingalpa State School for making our pre-service teachers feel welcome in our school community. A huge thank you to the teacher mentors for taking on another responsibility in hosting them and guiding their learning experiences along with your classes.

Matific

Tingalpa State School subscribes for all students from Prep – Year 6 in a program called Matific. Please ask your child to show you this wonderful digital tool that assists them in consolidating their mathematical understanding. Teachers may also assign tasks that are linked to the learning and classroom activities to provide opportunities for students to practice their skills.

Students earn stars as they complete learning activities.  Each fortnight we will publish the top five students who have collected the most stars in the academic year to celebrate student participation.
