Step Up To Success

At the beginning of this year, we kicked off the Step Up To Success programme at Breens to recognise the achievements of our students. The programme rewards those students who have improved their level of ability and understanding in different curriculum areas.
Throughout the year, we have cheered students’ achievements in the fields of reading, spelling, addition/subtraction, multiplication/division and persuasive writing as they have succeeded in surpassing their own expectations. Students who improve by at least one full level of ability receive a Step Up To Success certificates to mark their achievements.
So far 117 certificates have been handed out (not bad in a school of 175 students!) and 92 students have shown significant improvements in a number of curriculum areas. Throughout the school, we have seen achievements that everyone can be proud of. To be acknowledged in the Step Up To Success programme takes something special.
This is a very exciting week for our learners at Breens. They have just come to the end of their Fractional Knowledge programme and are taking their post-unit assessments this week. We set a school-wide target of 100% improvement in this learning area. I hope to report back to you in our next newsletter with great news!
