Room 16 - Mrs Colleen O'Connor

Welcome to our Room 16 page.J

A major goal for the students of Room 16 this year is to work towards becoming an ‘Independent Learner’.  This encourages them to take charge of being ready to learn and also helps them to become self-regulated learners.  This strategy helps to ensure that they will be prepared for future years of learning.
