In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding your child’s learning and progress, I encourage you to speak directly with their classroom teacher. As always, my door is open should you wish to discuss any matters further.
Semester 1 Reports
Our teachers are currently busy preparing Semester 1 Reports, which will be shared with families, Friday 19th June. While these reports provide valuable insight into your child's learning progress and achievements at school, I also hope they serve as a catalyst for meaningful conversations at home.
When reading your child's report together, I encourage you to focus on what they are most proud of, what they have worked hard to achieve, and the goals they have set for their future learning. Rather than concentrating solely on levels, grades, comparisons with others, or expected standards, it is important to recognise the effort, persistence, growth and determination that underpin success.
It is these qualities—goal setting, resilience and a commitment to improvement—that support our young people in striving for personal excellence and becoming confident, capable learners.
Progress is what motivates us and helps us feel successful. After all, learning is wellbeing. When students feel good about their learning, they are more likely to engage, persevere and achieve their best.
I look forward to seeing you all around our amazing school!
Best wishes,
Assistant Principal
Peta Phillips
