From the Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope everyone managed to have a restful long weekend and to stay warm. We are certainly having very cold early winter weather.

I encourage you to get your table organised for the Quiz Night being held this Friday evening in our school hall. It's always a fun night and a great way to get to know other parents in the school.

We have our Mini Vinnies PJ day next Wednesday (June 22nd) so don't forget the PJs and a gold coin donation. We are also collecting beanies and scarves to go to St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Kind regards,

Olga Lyons, Principal

Learning and Teaching

Student Reports and 3 Way Conversations

The written reports will be published on Friday 24th June and available for parents to access through PAM after 4pm. The reports are designed to provide a comprehensive description of your child’s academic progress against the year level standards, their social emotional learning, as well as their work habits.

It is important for parents to understand that your child is expected to meet a different and more advanced year level standard each year. While they may have successfully reached the previous year's standard, they may not yet be at standard for the current year. This does not mean they have regressed. It just means the degree of difficulty has increased and they are still working towards achieving it.

This year, due to the short 9 week term, the 3 Way Learning Conversations with your child and their teacher will take place in the first week of term 3 - July 13 & 14 from 2.30pm until 6.00pm. Parents are now able to book their appointments through PAM. These Conversations are an opportunity for your child to tell you about their learning successes and goals.

Parents who have had a PSG at the end of term 2 will not be required to make an appointment for a 3 Way Conversation.
