Parent Teacher Conversations

Please book an appointment on-line in Compass to catch up with your teachers about your child’s progress so far this semester. The conversations take place on

Thursday 14th September from 3:30 – 7pm and Friday 15th September 10am to 1 pm.

We hope you can attend.

Camp

The trip to Tasmania starts on Monday 4th September. The students need to be at Morwell Campus at 4:30 am. I know this is a very early start. The students will be flying over to Hobart at 10:40 am and touring the City, Salamanca Place etc. They will visit Port Arthur, Richmond, Coles Bay Cataract Gorge and Devonport. They will sail overnight back to Geelong on the Spirit of Tasmania on Thursday night. Enjoy the trip.

Attendance

This year we will be trying to increase student attendance rates especially at Year 10. We would really appreciate a phone call to the 24-Hour attendance line if your child is absent from school. This helps our attendance officer track students and improve our % attendance for each student.

PBS

Students can receive a KPA SMS message to parents from teachers each lesson for positive behaviour. Students are also receiving postcards for displaying consistent behaviours for the four school pillars of Excellence, Relationships, Work Ethic and Engagement. This year we will be rewarding students with great attendance to school and for GPA reports at or above 3.5.
