A Message from the Principal
Response to Need (RTN)
Response To Need (RTN) is a process that ensures students receive responsive, high-quality instruction according to their needs, determined by regular assessment. At Ngunnawal Primary School we have a multi-tiered framework for differentiating instruction to support learning for all students.
At Tier 1, school wide prevention efforts are established to promote learning for all students, anticipating that most students will respond to these strategies and will not require additional intervention. Classroom teachers currently implement the Readers Workshop model, 10 Essential Instructional Practices in Literacy, as well as ongoing conferencing, assessment, and goal setting procedures for students.
At Tier 2, students who are identified as being at-risk of experiencing problems receive supplementary or small-group interventions. Tier 3 is an additional layer of intensive supports which aim to address the needs of a smaller percentage of students (5-15%) who are experiencing difficulty and are at risk of developing more severe problems.
If your child is participating in Tier 3 supports, you will be contacted by their classroom teacher or a member of the RTN team. The focus area and goals will be shared with families to ensure there is consistency of approaches and alignment of goals.
The RTN team currently consists of the following teachers: Monica Dray, Gina Harrop, Stacey-Anne Cook, Erin Salleo, Stephanie Tyler and Emma Davidson.
National Day of Action Against Bullying
The theme for 2022 is Kindness Culture. By building Kindness Culture together, we can promote inclusion, respect and community belonging for all students in schools across Australia.
