Celebrating great storytelling. How many different ways can you tell a story?
The Stage 3 students have been exploring great stories and looking at the different ways that stories can be told. We have adapted Shakespeare's tale of Romeo and Juliet to create our Wakakirri story - Star of the Sea, as well as exploring other versions and adaptations of this story.
We also attended the recent Marist production of Odyssey and enjoyed comparing how stories from The Odyssey have been used in modern literature such as The Percy Jackson series. Some students have even been inspired to write their own version of the Odyssey set in a modern day Race Around the World!

What does Gifted Education look like at St Mary’s?
What does Gifted Education look like at St Mary’s?
- Trained specialist teachers work in different capacities in the school. In 2017 this involves our Newman Extension English and Maths group in Stage 3, along with supporting identified students within other grades to ensure quality differentiation is occurring in all classrooms. In addition to this, these teachers lead the Professional Development of all staff, which includes supporting and mentoring staff to ensure suitably challenging and engaging learning opportunities are offered to gifted students in all classes.
