Assistant Principal - Learning and Teaching
Year 11 is now Year 12!
The Year 11 students have transitioned beautifully into Year 12 to start this Term. This marks the final year of their formal schooling and we are very excited about working with this cohort of students. Mrs Tovey has informed the students about the process of changing subjects and there has been some movement already. We encourage students to have open reflective conversations with their teachers and with Mrs Tovey and me to determine their best pathway. Please let us know if you, as parents, have questions about this process.
Year 7-10 Assessments
All students from Year 7-10 will be completing assessments in Weeks 5 and 6 to culminate their year of learning. We encourage you to sit with your children and map out their schedule when it is released on Monday to ensure they are prepared for their tasks. We encourage 100% attendance especially during this period so students do not miss their learning in the lead up to assessments. Thank you for your support on this.
Borrowing Laptops
We have changed the way in which students can borrow devices in the library. If a student has a device in for repair they may borrow one from the library. Previously they have had to trade in their phones for the device, however we are thrilled to see that many students are opting to leave their phones at home. As such, we would like students to be able to borrow and be responsible enough to bring their device back at the end of the day. If they do not, they will be issued a lunch detention the next day, which we are hoping to avoid. Please support us by ensuring your child's device is charged each night and packed in their bags each morning.
Atomi
Congratulations to Stella Thorman and Sienna Dawson who were the highest Atomi users over the last 7 days! The students will receive a canteen voucher for their reward. The Year 11 students have transitioned to Year 12 on Atomi so all classes should be updated. Please let your children know to see me if their classes are not correct.
Please reach out if you have any questions about the learning for your students.
