Middle SS News

Week 6 already! I want to express my gratitude for all your hard work this term! A big congratulations to everyone who contributed to our students' success during the NAIDOC incursion and of course to Juri for organizing such a fantastic event. The students had an amazing day and were fully engaged throughout. If you have any photos from the event, please send them to me so I can include them in this week's Newsletter.

This week, we're also looking forward to celebrating World Book Day. I’m excited to see the students (and staff!) dressed up as their favorite characters for our parade!

IEPs

The goals for Semester 2 IEPs need to be finalized by the end of this term. If you have any questions about writing your students' goals, please don't hesitate to reach out following this week's PLC.

CTM 

Please ensure that your CTM minutes are populated with students' learning goals ready for discussion at your meeting. If you'd like me to act as a norm monitor, timekeeper, or note-taker, just let me know. Additionally, following our PLC, think about how you can use your CTMs in Semester 2 to collaborate on updating Student Profiles and discussing progress towards IEP goals.

Production

This weeks tasks include:

- Upload music links to the Google Drive folder

- Book the Yaluk building for rehearsal time with your students

- Continue practicing your production item, backdrop, and/or props

- Rehearse performing in your costumes

Classroom Walls

Some classrooms have been noted to have writing on walls or cupboards using permanent markers, pencils, etc. If this applies to your room, please either clean it yourself or log it on maintenance to be removed. If you wish to record student heights, please use tape and remind students not to write or draw on the walls. Thank you for your support with this.

Excursions

Please ensure that you stay on top of the excursion checklist in advance. Confirm that parental permission has been granted, the activity locator is filed, and that transport and staffing are arranged. I encourage you to touch base with me and the admin team in the weeks leading up to your excursion for additional review and support in planning and coordination.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything I can assist with.
