As Term One comes to an end I am looking forward to reviewing results and congratulating our outstanding achievers and hardworking students.  It is also an important time for students to reflect on their learning and work on strategies to improve in Term 2.

As students, parents and carers review Term 1 reports, Effort and Behaviour grades tell a story as important as Achievement grades.  Reflecting on effort and the work that students put in to achieve their results as well as behaviour grades give an insight into the processes students employ in the classroom and at home.  Reflecting on consistent work practices highlights the importance of our school value of Sustainability.  Sustainable work practices are those that we can maintain over a long period of time and it is crucial that students (and adults) can maintain a balance in their work / leisure time so that we can all maintain a strong work ethic, whilst looking after our well being.

Parent Teacher Interviews – Term 2 Week 4

An email will arrive in inboxes in Week 10 with the instructions on how to book Parent – Teacher interviews which are scheduled for Wednesday 14 May in the Cultural Centre.  We look forward to productive conversations to help shape goals for improving academic outcomes.

Year 10

Last week Year 10 students started working through resources from Ponder Education to assist in developing career pathways and therefore their Senior Education and Training Plans.  Career Clusters is a way of exploring career choices and a quick you tube clip explains these.

Students will also complete a survey which will show them the clusters that most apply to them.

Below is a report that I got when completing the survey.  Students will continue to unpack their results in their Ethics and Choices lessons over the coming weeks.

Year 10 Vaccinations

Thank you to all families who have submitted vaccination forms.  Vaccinations will occur next Wednesday 19 March in the Cultural Centre at the start of Second Break.  As year 10 students have completed classes for the day, students will be expected to stay until they have be observed for the time period required to monitor for signs of adverse reactions to vaccinations before they can depart for the day.  If students do not remain, parents will need to make appointments to have their children’s vaccinations done through clinics or their GP.
