Banksia

Teacher:  Deanne Jones

Education Assistants: Marie, Ali, Leone & Tye

Welcome to another year in the Banksia Class. We have a class of four male students (Blake, Jason, Elijah and Christopher) and one female student (Siham). Our teacher is Mrs. Deanne Jones and our Education Assistants are Marie, Ali, Leone, and Tye. Our 2019 year has already kicked off in top gear with outings to Flexability, King’s Park and ALDI East Victoria Park. Our programs are running smoothly and the students have settled well into their new classroom. The students are participating in Literacy and Numeracy programs,  Art, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), Cooking, Swimming, Music, Physical Education, FlexAbility and Community Access. Our themes for this year are ‘Out and About in Perth’, ‘Under the Sea’, ‘My school Community’ and fairy tales and make-believe.

In Banksia we focus on fostering independence, developing communication skills, improving life skills and equipping students with the necessary social skills to better prepare them for the future. We value parent opinions and knowledge about their children and encourage them to keep the lines of communication open between school and home.

We are excited about 2019 and we are looking forward to seeing our students learn, grow and progress throughout this school year.
