Cycle 1 reports and student progress conferences

Cycle 1 reports will be released to families via the parent portal at 5pm on Thursday 28th March. We are now using the Compass reporting package so, for those families who have students reports from previous years, they will look a little different. The same information will be reported on as previous years. 

Our cycle 1 Student Progress Conferences will be conducted online on Wednesday 17th April from 1pm until 8pm. Formal classes will not be run on this date. 

Bookings for Student Progress Conferences will open on the 28th of March.

Students are expected to attend online conferences with their parents/guardians.

The online conferences will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. Detailed instructions will be published in the following weeks. 

Bicycle safety tips.

Keep safe on your bicycle. Obey the road laws and be alert to the traffic around you. Ride in the same direction as other traffic and keep your bicycle one metre from the kerb.

• Before changing lanes and turning, always scan behind and signal your intentions to other road users.
• Try to make eye contact with other road users to help them know that you are there.
• Look out for other road users particularly when they are approaching you from behind or pulling out in front of you.
• Look out for drivers and passengers getting in and out of parked cars and be aware of the risk of car doors opening.
• Don’t ride on the inside of larger vehicles such as buses and trucks – the drivers can’t see you and these vehicles may be turning which will require more space than a normal passenger car.
• Wear a correctly fitted, Australian standards approved, bicycle helmet.
• When using a shared path or separated footpath, ride in a manner and a speed that will enable you to give way to pedestrians. Always let people walking or slower bike riders know you are about to pass by ringing your bell or simply calling out.
