SENIOR SCHOOL NEWS
Rebecca Durran
Year 12 Coordinator
Welcome back to Term 2, a short and busy term this year.
A big welcome on board to Sherryn Martin who is now the Year 11 Year Level coordinator for the rest of 2022. Term 2 brings new challenges for the Senior Sub School with more SAC preparation, more outcomes to be ticked off and upcoming exams.
Progress Reports
Progress reports are a great tool for you to generate discussion with your students in relation to how they are performing on a day-to-day basis in the classroom and encourage your students to have discussions with their teachers about how improvements in results and learning behaviours can be made throughout the term.
Senior students VS staff netball game
During Week 1 of this term, Madi O’Connor organised a staff vs Year 11 and 12 student’s netball game, there was a great turn out in both teams with teachers taking the win for round 1. Students should keep their eye on Compass for round 2 and other upcoming sports throughout the term. I encourage any students who have some ideas to promote belonging to school to be in touch with their relevant Year Level Coordinators.
