Welcome to Term 4

Welcome and overall learning summary

Welcome back to another fabulous term of learning. We hope you have had a restful and enjoyable break, and that the students are recharged and ready to go for our final term of Year Two! We have so many exciting learning experiences to look forward to and 2025 Day! Please take a few moments to read about the learning that we have planned for the term ahead.

At the end of this school year, your child’s report will go live via Compass on the 18th of December. The reports will be a celebration of their learning and demonstrate the success that they have had in each subject area, as well as how they have achieved their learning goals.

We would also like to take this opportunity to kindly remind families that Home Learning is designed to complement and reinforce classroom learning at Glen Waverley Primary School. Recently, we have noticed a decline in students completing and bringing their Home Learning to school on the due date. While we understand that many children have after-school commitments and activities, Home Learning is intentionally designed to be manageable for students to complete as independently as possible. We would appreciate your support in checking in with your child before the due date to support them with their organisation skills.

If, for any reason, your child is unable to complete their Home Learning, we encourage you to please email their classroom teacher in advance to inform them. This open communication helps us provide the necessary support and ensures that your child stays on track with their learning progress.

The Year Two Team,

Mrs Michelle Caruso, Miss Emma Williams, Miss Haileina Shi, Mrs Kristy Adams, Mrs Nikitakis and Miss Li
