From the Deputy 

SRC 2021 & Teaching and Learning

Dear Families,

Firstly, I would like to welcome everyone back to school and to what is shaping up to be another fantastic year of learning for our students (if perhaps just slightly less eventful than the 2020 school year). 

Student Representative Council (SRC) Members 2021

I am very please to announce the names of the students who were selected by their peers to form the SRC for this coming school year.  

They are as follows:

Today all students were presented with their badges as part of a school assembly. I look forward to working with the team to promote the voices and views of our students amongst the wider school community. 

Term 1 Curriculum Overviews

Typically, classroom teachers would produce an overview of the curriculum for the term to send out for each of the grade levels.  This year we have decided to alter things slightly and will provide you with a whole school overview of our Integrated and Specialist Curriculum areas for this term.  Each Sunday, classroom teachers will continue to send out a short bulletin for the week which will also outline the focus for English and Mathematics, along with level specific events/ reminders which may be occurring.  

This term students in Prep to Year 6 will be exploring the Humanities Curriculum and History as a key focus for our integrated unit of work.  In Prep - Year 2, students will begin by exploring their personal and family history, in addition to the history of the local community.  For the Years 3 & 4 students, the curriculum progresses to studying the history of Australia, beginning with the history of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. They then move on to studying European colonisation in Australia and around the world.  In Year 5 & 6, students explore life in colonial Australia through the 1800s and they study key people and events leading up to the time of Federation in the 1900s.

Integrated & Specialist Curriculum

Please see the document below for an outline of the Integrated curriculum focus and focus for the Specialist classes in Term One.

If you have any questions about the curriculum, or the learning that your child is engaging in please don't hesitate to contact their teacher or myself - poverbury@santglen.catholic.edu.au

best wishes for the week ahead,
