Year 5/6 - Senior Unit

Welcome to another exciting term of learning in the Senior Unit! Please find some important updates and an overview of our learning focus below:

Year 6 Transition Forms

Thank you to those parents who returned the Year 6 transition forms. Please note these forms are due back tomorrow. Please ensure these are returned to Mrs. Elliott as soon as possible (do not send them to the office). Every student is required to return a form, even if they are not attending a public high school. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Elliott directly.

Home Learning

It has been fantastic to see how Home Learning has been shared on Google Classrooms. For students who do not have access to a device at home, printed copies are available in each classroom. Tasks are to be completed by the due date and Home Learning books handed to the classroom teacher. These tasks are designed to support students’ time management and reinforce concepts covered in class. All students are expected to complete the activities independently.
