Principal’s Piece — Justin Harrison
Upcoming Assessment
With week 6 nearly completed and the majority of subjects moving into the assessment phase of the term, students need to be organised and committed to their upcoming assessment. It is important that students take ownership of their learning and commit to each subject while also seeking feedback from their teachers on how to improve. I encourage parents/carers to regularly discuss their child’s progress and be ‘ahead of the game’ when it comes to their upcoming assessment, and to contact the school if you have any concerns.
Every Day Counts
As we already know, there is a very clear link between attendance and achievement. Currently, our year-to-date attendance percentage sits at 85.2%. This percentage is higher than the same time last year, however, it is significantly below the school's target of 90%. To provide every student with the best chance of success, I encourage all families to continue to communicate the importance of coming to school and for their child to engage in all classes. If you are having any difficulty in getting your child to school, please contact the Year Level Coordinator or Deputy Principal to discuss possible strategies.
Gold Award Presentations
Each term, Toolooa recognises students who have strived to achieve outstanding academic results in each of their subjects they are studying. On Tuesday the 9th of May, Toolooa State High School held a recognition parade to celebrate the academic success of our students for Term One of 2023.
