Assistant Principal's Report

Reporting

Staff has spent a great deal of time producing student reports from Years 7-10. Year 9/10 parent/teacher interviews will take place on the Tuesday June 27 of Week 10 whilst Year 8 will be on Thursday June 29. 

We would encourage as many parents as possible to make a time to discuss students' progress with teachers. We realise that not all people can be allotted a time but the conversation could still be had outside the reporting time by phone with their teacher or by making another suitable appointment time.

Busy times ahead

There is no slowing of events towards the end of Term. Congratulations to all involved in the Athletics Carnival. There were a number of long standing records broken on the day.

Our boys' soccer teams also experienced success at the Diocesan Carnival. This week Year 10 have been on work experience. Also Years 11 and 12 have received their immunisations.

Next week our Vinnies group will be staging the Winter Appeal and they would encourage others to join them for the Winter Sleep out.

The Cochrane Cup hosted by O’Connor, will be held Thursday June 22nd. It will include the u14’s Rugby league and Years 7-10 Netball.

Year 10 News

On Monday June 19th students in Year 10 will listen to subject presentations for course selection into the Preliminary HSC. They will also each receive an intentions survey, that needs to be brought back to school by June 27 in line with subject reports. The intention survey forms will also be available on the school web site.

Thank you for the efforts this term

I am always proud of our students and the staff at O’Connor Catholic College. We are fortunate to have a community, committed to so many extra curricular activities with energy and enthusiasm. To find evidence of this we only need to reflect on the last term.

During all activities students clearly modelled respect for each other as people and learners. They showed resilience when they accepted constructive feedback, and developed incredibly collaborative practices as they came together as a team whether on the sporting field, in a band, on the farm or on the track. Well done to all and a big thank you from the leadership team!
