We're looking forward to keeping you connected with our school community in this new, convenient way!

Dear Parents and Carers,

Exciting news. The P&C is hosting a welcome sausage sizzle BBQ in the Early Childhood area. This will be open to all parents, students and staff.  So, save the date: Friday 21 Feb 3.15pm.

There are a range of supports we have put in place at Little Grove to provide a positive and safe learning environment for our students based on the Berry St Education Model PL we have engaged in over the last 18 months. Shaped by 140 years of experience, decades of research and thousands of dedicated teachers, the Berry Street Education Model helps educators gain new perspectives, strategies and skills to build safer, healthier and more engaging classrooms for all students. Our classroom strategies that are being embedded during 2025 include:

Other classroom strategies we all employ include: 

There are a range of other strategies in our 'arsenal' that we use as well. But these are our non-negotiables.

Fitness Club is back on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 8:30 to 8:45 AM for all students in Years 1-6. Please see the fitness club timetable below.

This term, our main focus is running to help students build endurance. Later in the term, we will introduce Skipping Club on Mondays.

Parents are more than welcome to join and participate with their children!

Sign language was introduced to Australia by British and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. Since that time, Auslan has evolved into the modern language used today.

It is important to note that although there are similarities to other sign languages, Auslan is unique to Australia. In fact, within Australia there are two dialects: Northern and Southern. Here in WA, the Deaf community most often use the Southern Dialect. Most of the Auslan students will be learning at Little Grove will be from the Southern dialect.
