Prep - Year 4
Designed to help students who require support with the fundamentals of reading and spelling.
Children will work in a small group environment, aligned to their needs.
Sessions will include:
-
phonological and phonemic awareness
-
foundational letter/sound knowledge (synthetic phonics)
-
reading and spelling for accuracy and fluency
As with all SailAway Readers classes, we combine structured literacy with lots of fun.
Please note, these classes are designed to support struggling learners and those who require additional help. It is not designed as an enrichment class.
​
Please note, we will assess all children at the beginning of the term and allocate classes based on this information. We aim to ensure your child remains in their chosen session with other children with like ability.
Online Homework Coaching Clinic for Year 7 & 8
Delivered in five, fortnightly, online sessions each term is designed to support your child’s transition into the increasing expectations of Year 7 and 8.
​
-
Sessions 1 and 2 are core sessions and cover essential skills your child needs to get organised and feel confident at high school. These sessions focus on planning, managing homework, understanding deadlines, and setting up systems that support learning.
-
Sessions 3–5 are optional but strongly encouraged. These sessions allow students to practise and strengthen these skills with real homework tasks, receive support as challenges arise, and develop independence over time.
-
Every session adds value. Continued attendance helps students stay on track, build consistency, and develop the confidence and self-management skills needed to succeed in secondary school.
