Learning and Curriculum Primary - Stage 3

Optional Parent/Teacher Interviews

Optional Parent/Teacher Interviews for Years 5 – 11 will take place on Thursday 4 December between 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM. This year, to provide greater flexibility and convenience, these interviews will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. Interviews are for five minutes only.

An interview schedule will be made available through the TASS Parent Lounge on Monday 24 November at 9:00 AM, allowing parents/carers to access and select a suitable interview time. The booking schedule will close on Tuesday 2 December at 9:00 AM.

During the scheduled interviews, parents/carers will join a Microsoft Teams meeting and initially be placed in a virtual waiting room. Once the teacher is available, they will admit the parent/carer from the waiting room into the meeting. At the completion of interview, the teacher will end the online meeting.

Year 6 SunSprint Challenge

Recently, a group of nine boys from Year 6 competed at the SunSprint Challenge at UNSW. 

This challenge was about making solar powered boats and/or cars; we were split into teams of three and told to make a solar powered boat, which would be competing in a 10-metre race.  

After weeks of designing and building with Mr Viney, the big day arrived! We were all very excited and looking forward to seeing our boats race. 

Luckily, our team won the first round, but unfortunately, the other teams didn’t progress. In the second round we also won by luck as the other boat didn’t finish the race! 

We were in the quarter finals, and this was the most heated race yet, the other boat shot forward at the start, and we were close behind, but as the race progressed our boat closed the gap, and we touched the finish line a moment before theirs. Cheers erupted from the St Pat’s supporters. 

Thank you to Mrs Chander, Ms Mazoudier and Mr Viney. Overall, the SunSprint Challenge was a great learning opportunity and a fun day for everyone.
