Over the past several months, the school community has evaluated our learning programs, wellbeing data and student outcomes, and what has arisen is the need for a structure that allows student connection with an adult each day. The morning Djamaru will be based on research from the Berry Street Model that focusses on building a sense of belonging and strengthening relationships between both teachers and students, which is foundational, for a good learning culture. The school structure in 2024 will include a 20-minute morning group, aptly named Djamaru, the Dhurga word meaning ‘come together’. This change will facilitate an earlier start at 8:50 and an earlier finish at 2:50. The buses and our local partner primary schools are all on board to ensure a smooth transition as we work together for these new 2024 times. We are very appreciative of the support from the community. #ChangeIsGood #BelongingFocus #DjamaruTogether
