Acting Principal Piece With Mark Thomas Term 2 Week 4 2024

To all the mothers out there, I would like to wish you a very happy Mother’s Day for this coming Sunday (12th May).

As we approach the end of Week 4, I would like to congratulate our student body on how they have settled down and re-engaged with their schoolwork and the routines of our school. It has been very pleasing to hear that the majority of students are adhering to the school’s core values of respect, achievement and responsibility. A focus area within our Junior Secondary year levels (7-10) has been the appropriate use of technology devices (i.e. IPADs) within the classroom and also during break times. I would encourage all parents to also monitor their child’s technology usage (including social media platforms) and speak with their child to reinforce appropriate usage of technology as a form of communication.

All students should have received their Assessment calendar for Term 2. Not only is it important that the calendar is placed in a location whereby the student can constantly refer to it at home, I encourage parents/carers to reinforce with their child the importance of mapping out their term and being well organised. Please contact your child’s teacher or the school if you have any questions regarding the assessment schedule.

I would like to congratulate all students who achieved their academic goals for Term 1. It was very pleasing to see the large number of students who received Cs or above, with a large percentage receiving all As and Bs. Junior students (7-10) who have received a majority of As with no less than a Bs on their Term 1 report card will also be recognised at this week’s Recognition parades. Special mention must also go to the majority of students whose behaviour and effort in all classes was well above satisfactory. Please see the breakdown below highlighting the positive engagement of students in class:
