Student Support Group (SSG)Meetings 

Next week is our Student Support Group Meeting week. Please book in a time to meet with your child's classroom teacher. These meetings are an important part of the partnership between home and school so we can work together to best support your child's learning and development at school in 2024.

The meeting also provides you with the opportunity to talk about how your child has settled into school at the start of the year and to ask any questions you may have about the school program. If you are unable to attend next week, please contact your child's teacher to make another time.

 

If you need an interpreter, please let your child's teacher know and we can book one.

 

The first meeting of the year focuses on discussing and developing goals for the first semester of the year in the following curriculum areas: 

  • Personal and Social Capabilities
  • English- Speaking and Listening
  • English- Reading and Viewing
  • English- Writing Mathematics- Number and Algebra
  • Mathematics- Measurement and Geometry
  • Science

For students in our Transition Section of the school, the learning program is developed from the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) and teacher's will write goals in the areas of:

  • VPC Personal Development
  • VPC Literacy
  • VPC Numeracy
  • VPC Work-related skills

All students

 

Our specialist teachers write a supporting goal which reflects the goals written by the classroom teacher for when students attend the specialist classes:

  • Community Health - Health, Personal Social and Community Health
