BE INVOLVED, BE CONNECTED

THIS WEEK I AM GRATEFUL FOR...

Community, and being able to have our parents back on site in the afternoons. It has been so good to see you all and be able to talk face to face!

STUDENT REPORTS

Our student reports will be released at the end of this term on the second last day of school, the afternoon of Thursday the 17th of December. Please note that these reports will be quite a bit shorter than you might otherwise be used to. The focus for this term has been Literacy, Mathematics, and Wellbeing, and we have wanted our teachers to really focus on making sure that they are putting all their energy into supporting your children to reconnect and to get on top of any learning needs that your child may have. 

 

We will also be giving you an opportunity to add your own section to the report. We always view you as partners in your child’s learning journey, and this year more than any other! This Friday 4th December, we will have a Compass post coming out to all of you with the link to where you can add to your child’s report.
