Professional Learning Team Wrap Up and Mini Conference
As we close out this term, our Professional Learning Teams have much to celebrate. Over the past weeks, educators have engaged in dynamic sprints focused on enhancing practice, deepening curriculum understanding, and driving student success. These short, purposeful cycles have allowed teachers to experiment, reflect, and refine strategies that make a real impact in classrooms.
To cap off this incredible journey, we hosted a PLT Mini Conference – a vibrant showcase of innovation and collaboration. Teachers stepped into the role of facilitators, leading Masterclasses and Workshops that highlighted their sprint outcomes. From practical classroom strategies to creative approaches for assessment and engagement, each session reflected the passion and expertise within our team.
The energy in each of the spaces was inspiring. Colleagues shared insights, exchanged ideas, and left with actionable takeaways to elevate their practice. This event was not just a celebration of what we’ve achieved – it was a springboard for what’s next. Together, we’ve built a culture of continuous learning, and the ripple effect will be felt across our schools.

Chapter Collective
Our recent Chapter Collective sessions have sparked rich discussion and practical insights for classroom practice. In Week 6, we explored David Yeager’s work on growth mindset and adolescent motivation, unpacking strategies to foster resilience and purpose in our students. This conversation reminded us of the power of language and relationships in shaping learner confidence. Moving into Week 7, our focus was on ‘pacing’ from Teach Like a Champion, which examines techniques to maintain lesson momentum and keep students engaged without sacrificing depth. We know that clear transitions and varied activity structures can transform classroom energy.
These sessions continue to strengthen our collective expertise and commitment to high-impact teaching.
