Whole school important reminders

Seesaw is now up and running.

The minimum requirement is one photo per student per week. This is important in helping families see the wonderful learning and care you provide each day. Regular updates offer reassurance and help build strong, trusting relationships between families and staff.

Assessments

Secondary and Senior Secondary Sub School (Amelia Frantz & Sean Procko)

Welcome to Week 5 everyone.

Please refer to the latest Yard Duty Timetable, sent on Monday 23.2.
Please complete the CTM survey so we can improve the process. https://forms.gle/CfSLm5MhdFk2tEQ1A
Please continue to use the student communication books as a main source of communication between staff and families and encourage families to do the same. This way the message will always get to staff at school. I (Amelia) asked parents in the newsletter to do the same.
Please have a look through your green operations folder. If there is anything missing, let us know, we can give you more copies. BRPs/BSPs and RMPs need to be reprinted and updated everytime a new version is created. Old copies go in confidential waste.
Please make sure items are returned to the curriculum cupboards and classrooms are clutter free and well organised. Cupboards should only have what you need in them. If you would like some assistance with classroom organisation, let us know.
