Earlier this week, we celebrated the inspiring learning and growth we have seen from our fantastic students enrolled in the MacqLit program this term. 

We have seen students go from strength to strength, and there were so many highlights to celebrate.  

• We acknowledged an increase in reading fluency of more than 100% for most of our primary students who have been able to attend regularly. Our secondary students have reached outstanding fluency rates and are now reading above benchmark, or are very close to their target. 

• We also celebrated the confident learners who are emerging both in and out of the MacqLit sessions. This was demonstrated most recently when our team of instructors were proudly invited by our Year 6 MacqLit cohort to watch their courageous performances in Mrs Fry’s fabulous Readers’ Theatre. Our students not only read confidently in front of their usual classroom peers, but also in front of multiple class groups and staff. Their confidence was outstanding! 

• We celebrated student engagement, connection, and attendance, all of which we have seen a huge increase in all. This is an important element in making the MacqLit program successful. 

Congratulations to these students for working hard to make such significant gains in reading and engagement. Your progress has been truly inspiring!
