I would like to congratulate all students on the start they have made to the 2020 school year. It is important for students to establish positive routines and study patterns to support their learning at school.
As you would appreciate, our teachers and specialist staff have been working to ensure students have access to great learning experiences and the support needed for students to achieve their learning goals. Your support is critical as we work together to assist students with their learning and establishing good habits – particularly in relation to attendance, punctuality, study schedules and their level of personal presentation. It was a pleasure last week to welcome families to the College and share some important information at the Year 9 to 12 Parent Information evening.
It was also great to join with the Holy Trinity Primary community to celebrate our opening mass on Friday, 7 February, Thank you to Fr Andrew for celebrating the mass for us and commissioning new staff at Delany College and Holy Trinity Primary.
The respect our students showed and the way they conducted themselves during mass was a credit to the College.
Friday, 21 February, is our College swimming carnival at Granville Swimming Centre.
This will be a great day for students of all abilities – those participating in championship events, novelty events and other activities scheduled for the day.
It is a compulsory school day and students are asked to attend in causal clothes in line with our usual mufti day guidelines and aligned with their house colours.
There are further organisational details later in this newsletter.
A reminder that Monday, 24 February is a student free day as staff of the College will be undertaking professional development and planning activities.
Assistance needed: Lego Wanted!
This year we have launched a new learning opportunity for students in Years 9 and 10. The elective subject, named ‘My Ideas Experience’, challenges students to design and develop their own projects. As part of the project design process, students will be developing prototypes using a variety of materials. One of the mediums we would like to utilise to facilitate prototype development is Lego. Accordingly, if you have any supplies of Lego that are no longer required by your family, donations would be greatly appreciated. If you can assist, please drop off any Lego to the Administration Office.
As always, your support is greatly appreciated.
God Bless
