Why Jolly Phonics Intervention Is Successful At KHPS...

KHPS employs dedicated staff, who strive to help all learners. Sometimes children take longer to start grasping foundation concepts. Our highly trained Jolly Phonics team are on the case.
 
Throughout the past few years, KHPS has embedded the Jolly Phonics program into the curriculum. This program is designed to teach children the fundamental knowledge around reading and writing.

All of the staff who work in the classrooms have been trained to implement either Jolly Phonics or Jolly Grammar with the students.


SUCCESS

KHPS are an excellent example of how intervention in Jolly Phonics can help struggling students.
Rhonda and Peta are highly trained staff members, who have worked alongside speech pathologists from Student Support Services to develop an intervention program that would make other schools jealous.

The intervention program has yielded extraordinary results, seeing numerous students receiving the extra support needed for their success.

  • ensure that all reported incidents of bullying are appropriately investigated and addressed
