From the Principal
I was very pleased to see that the review of the National Curriculum has stated that there needs to be a focus on the teaching of phonics, spelling, punctuation and grammar as well as a strong focus on the rigorous teaching of mathematics. I am pleased to say that Birralee has been well ahead of the game on these points. We have consistently achieved outstanding results in these areas for many years now.
