Open Day

It was great to welcome the visitors who attended our open days last week and show them our school.  It was an opportunity to see our classrooms in action and walk through the learning spaces we have been developing over the last three years. The tours were of particular interest to year 6/7 students who are already wondering about what happens next year.  If you have a student in year 5, 6 or 7 and weren’t able to attend last week but are interested in a tour through the school please contact us and we will arrange one for you.

Student/Parent/Teacher Interviews  

We encourage your attendance at the upcoming student/parent/teacher discussions to talk about student achievement, progress and goal setting for the remainder of the year.  

Interviews are not just for students who aren't progressing as well as expected; they are an opportunity for all students and families to discuss the skill development of students. For those students who are doing well it is an opportunity to talk about the appropriate level of challenge to enable students to continue to develop their skills and understanding. 

Students are able to set goals and put actions in place to improve results during the remainder of Semester One. Use the online booking system now to reserve your preferred time slots. 

Continuation of Learning in the case of offsite 

It has been twelve months since I wrote to you regarding our COVID-19 arrangements for offsite learning.  As seen over the last twelve months, we are keen to maintain the learning for our young people. While we are extremely fortunate to have students learning face-to-face at school, I wanted to take a moment to remind students and families of some important information that is relevant in our day-to-day operations, whether we are as normal on-site learning or if we are ever required again to go to offsite learning:

• Daymap is our primary source of curriculum information for students and parents.
• Please refer to Daymap for information on all subjects.
• Daymap access is very important for students so please contact us if your student has trouble accessing Daymap at home.
• Teachers use Daymap to communicate with students, upload assignments/worksheets for each class.
• Daymap messages can be sent to individual teachers.
• Students should all have their Learnlink details.
• Learnlink will give access to Office 365 (including Word and Excel), Teams and Minecraft for Education.

Teams is the Department endorsed live platform and is accessible from the website or from the download app.
