Curriculum:

As mentioned in our previous Ignatian Newsletter, Term Three is an extremely busy - but exciting - time in our academic year! Items that have and will occur this term include:

• 2025 Subject Selection

• Parent Teacher Interviews

• The release of Mid-Semester Reports

The information below will help families prepare for the weeks ahead:

Parent-Teacher Interviews (PTIs):  

Thank you to all parents/carers for attending our recent Parent Teacher Interviews. We hope they were meaningful and worthwhile, and provided feedback on your child’s learning and wellbeing, together with strategies to support future progress.  As parents are aware, we have now tried two different models in our hybrid approach to delivering these interviews. We will be asking parents to complete a survey over the coming weeks to ascertain which model served our community most effectively.

Subject Selection 2025

Thank you to all those parents and students who attended our recent VCE VM and VCE Subject Selection and Careers Expo Evenings. They were a huge success, and the feedback was extremely positive. If parents do have any specific feedback that they would like to share, please email boscol@loyola.vic.edu.au or wilsonk@loyola.vic.edu.au

A reminder that our online subject selection web preferences close on Tuesday, 27 August at 5:00pm

Assessment & Reporting Codes:

Thank you for your support as we aim to uphold consistency and fairness for all our students with the recent changes made to the requirements when your child is absent from an assessment. We value your input and recognise that obtaining medical certificates can be challenging. In light of this, we have introduced the acceptance of Pharmacy Certificates and Statutory Declarations in circumstances where a medical certificate was not able to be obtained.

We ask that documentation of medical absence is provided to the class teacher at your earliest convenience, either via email or hard copy.
