Team Miro
About
Team Miro is an exciting place to be! It has a strong focus on seeking out the passions that each child has and developing skills and attributes that enhance learning. The HEART values are integral to everything we do. As a team we have embraced BYOD, with more than 85% of senior students bringing their own device to school. Learning assistants support learning needs across the team. This ensures that children are well supported in their learning. You will find that once your child reaches the senior school, Outdoor Education, becomes a big focus. Camps and trips visiting experts or venues to enhance learning plays an authentic and important part of the learning process as a senior student. We want our children to have every opportunity to be excited and engaged so that they can be the best learner they can be.
Team Miro is a Year 4 - 6 team consisting of four learning spaces. Three of the spaces are collaborative learning spaces where two teachers work together with two groups of children in the one learning area. The other space is a single teaching space and has the one teacher working with a single group of children.

Gieve Slade works two days a week releasing teachers across the team. She has been in Team Miro since 2019, having previously worked in the Year 3/4 “Team Rata” many years ago so she’s excited to be working in Team Miro with previous colleagues. If you see a teacher walking around with a ukulele, that is probably her - ready to jam to some funky beats!
