Future Planning Expo

Please mark in your diaries our Futures Planning Expo night for Monday the 9^th of August.  This is an important night for information and planning for 2022 for students in year 6-11.

Parent Information Night for year 6 and 7

Next Monday night we are also holding an information session for parents and students in year 6 and 7.  We do still encourage all students for 2022 to attend our Future Planning Expo in week 4 next term, however next Monday night is an extra opportunity to find out about our planning for year 7 into High School and what year 7 and 8 will look like for next year.  It will be a chance to ask questions and to have a look through our school.  Please see the flier or on our Facebook page for more details.   

Transition

Our next come and try visits for year 6 and 7 students is the 5^th August. If you have a year 6 or 7 student please mark this date in your diaries.  If students missed the first visit and wish to come to the next one that is fine, we will have other students that, for a variety of reasons, will also be on their first visit.  

Primary School Year 7 to High School teacher visits

The teachers involved in our Continuity of Learning Project met again recently.  This is a group of primary school teachers and Renmark High School teachers who each term visit each other’s school, undertake lesson observations, and then meet together to discuss curriculum, teaching and student learning.  The intention of the project is for student to experience a seamless education as possible from year 6 to year 9.  There have already been learnings from both our school and the primary schools that have been used to benefit students in all sites involved.

Building works

We are in the final stages of the current building works project and expect to have our new spaces ready for the start of term 3.  We have now approved some of our own improvement works to begin, including extensive painting throughout the school, continued landscaping across the front of the school, and an updated watering system on our ovals.

New signage

We are very excited to have some of our new signage up around the school.  You may have seen some of this on our Facebook page.  The logo on our front doors, and the signage on our gates, student services and the building names are a huge improvement and help our students and school community take pride in their school.
