Alternate Programs

Welcome to Week 6!

We're over halfway through term 1.

This week brings us closer to NAPLAN for our Year 7 and Year 9 students. Parents with concerns about their child sitting NAPLAN should contact their child’s classroom teacher for assistance.  All parents who have children required to sit NAPLAN have received an SMS outlining this.

Regarding student absences: if your child has been away for any reason, please contact the teacher to follow up. We're committed to staying informed about your child's progress and offering support where needed.  Every day really does matter, and we are keen to support students to attend as much as they are able to.

At this point in the term, workload increases and fatigue can set in. Treena Hogan, our wellbeing support officer, is available three days a week to support students if they need someone to talk to. However, students and parents can also reach out to program coordinators for assistance.

Parents are encouraged to seek support for themselves or their child if necessary. As we approach the end of term, we'll be preparing reports for parent-teacher interviews (which will be held at the start of next term).

Thank you all for your support at the beginning of the year.
