Due to a very busy end to Term 3, our PSG meetings will now take place during Week 1 of Term 4.
The scheduled dates for each teacher are as follows:
- Mrs. Fiske Kealy (F/1/2) – Wednesday, 8th October
- Mrs. Brook & Mrs. Cummins (Grade 3/4) – Thursday, 9th October
Available appointment times are now accessible through PAM. Please ensure that you make your booking under the correct day allocated for your child/ren’s teacher.
If the available times are not suitable, please email me at kjamieson@smrushworth.catholic.edu.au and we
will arrange an alternative time.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to meeting with you.
Teaching and Learning
Please see below for a detailed outline of the testing to be completed in each unit this term. As you can see, this is a rigorous and thorough schedule designed to ensure that all students continue to grow at their point of need, with areas for both extension and additional support receiving the focused attention they deserve. Please feel free to reach out to classroom teachers if any questions or concerns arise pre or post assessments.
