The school has developed a reading programme that involves teachers keeping in contact with parents and pupils via text, phone calls, Skype, and face-to-face visits at school.
Deputy principal Carmel Jolly started the assisted reading programme last summer holidays after reading research about the ''summer slide'' in reading progress.
Principal Brent Caldwell compared the ''summer slide'' to ''not going to the gym for eight weeks''.
The programme went so well that 10 families have signed up for it these holidays.
''It's much more relaxed having one-on-one time with children and parents. You get to know them [parents] in a less formal environment,'' Ms Jolly said.
''It's a novelty for the kids, too. They are not used to seeing the school in this way. One of them asked if I sleep here.''
David Crawford and his daughter Lena Crawford-Moore (7) are part of the programme.
''Lena works much better with one-on-one time,'' Mr Crawford said.
''I've noticed a big improvement in her reading.''
Mr Caldwell said the school was ''very excited'' about how well the programme was going.
''It's good for parents to know that they have options to keep in contact over the holidays with Skype or phone calls. Most of them are happy to come in with their children, though.
''The programme is about reinforcing good reading behaviour and giving parents techniques beyond sounding out a difficult word.''
The school would continue with the programme every holidays if the demand was there, Mr Caldwell said.
