To assist in the development of teacher capacity, a school based literacy coach was appointed. The school also employs a Primary Welfare Officer (Social Worker) and Speech therapist. Classes are mainly composite in structure and are housed in flexible working spaces. A large gymnasium also inhabits the site. Outside there are extensive play areas. Major building works have begun. These will provide new facilities for the development of our students in the area of Dramatic Arts. An Experiential Learning Centre is also being built. Our motto: "Empowering Learners for Life" sets the tone for all learning. Movelle is dedicated to further improving our student performance levels by providing teaching and learning strategies that target the key learning areas of English and Mathematics in an "inquiry" based, integrated learning model.
