YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 2
Report Card Reflections
This week in SEL, students will review their report cards and set goals for the new semester. Through conversations with their Pastoral Mentors, students will be guided to reflect on their successes from Semester 1 and identify specific areas for improvement as we move into Term 3. From a pastoral perspective, we will pay particular attention to students' effort and behaviour grades, as these are key areas in which we can support students. This is a valuable experience for students as we work together towards success for all. Please feel free to reach out to subject teachers or HODs if you have any questions regarding your child's academic achievement.
Uniform Check –Shoes
As students returned to school this week, we have been encouraged to see so many students wearing their uniform with pride. I want to bring to your attention your child's black formal shoes and request that you inspect their condition. I have noticed that many require a spruce up with some polish/leather conditioner. Regular attention to the condition of these much-worn items will assist in their longevity and ensure that our students are putting their best foot forward in our community.
