Parent-Teacher Interviews (PTIs):
Thank you to all Parents/Guardians who attended 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 within our hybrid interview approach. If you have 5 minutes to spare, we would appreciate any feedback you may have by completing our ONLINE SURVEY.
Academic Reports:
The year is passing quickly, and Mid-Semester Reports are almost upon us. These reports will be distributed towards the end of the Term, from 17 September. ALL reports (both interim and end of Semester) reports will only be available for you online. Therefore, I would suggest that you either print a hard copy or save the report as a PDF.
Trial Examinations:
In response to student and staff feedback, the Trial Examinations this year will take place:
• Term 3: 20 September (last day of term) – English, English Language, Literature & EAL
• Term 4: 7 & 8 October (first 2 day of term) – All other subjects
All students will receive a timetable prior to the exams.
On completion, Unit 3/4 students and parents will receive a ‘trial exam statement of results’. Students will then have sufficient time to address identified gaps and act on relevant strategies and interventions.
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.
2024 Semester One Merit Certificates:
Congratulations to all students who received Semester One Merit certificates. Merit Awards are given to students who perform at a high level. Awards are based on the student’s overall result for each subject. A student will receive a Gold Merit Award if they have achieved an overall subject result of A or A+. A student will receive a Silver Merit Award if they have achieved an overall subject result of B or B+.
