Music teacher Mr Richard Dupuy was selected in the Australian team to compete at the International Practical Shooting Confederation’s (IPSC) World Shoot in Thailand late this year. He was chosen after placing second in category and class at the IPSC Australia Championships, and will be one of 1,600 competitors from 50 countries at the international competition.

Staff Professional Development

Teachers finished the term exploring Robert Marzano’s New Art and Science of Teaching (ASOT) pedagogical framework with Hawker Brownlow lead training associate Dr Janelle Wills.

The interactive session affirmed and extended knowledge about the good teaching practices that teachers currently apply, and provided teachers new practical strategies they can use in every classroom.

Our ongoing use of the ASOT as a foundation for developing an explicit teacher pedagogy promotes shared teacher efficacy, and creates a common language about learning and teaching for teachers.

We look forward to continuing our journey towards better learning outcomes for our students. Our teachers are valuable to our community and we want to help them thrive at Nudgee College.
