Term 4 Week 4
Four weeks in already. The highlight this week was undoubtedly the Night of Excellence at Wurun where our students had the opportunity to present all of the incredible work they have produced over the course of the year. The breadth and depth of the talent on show is an absolute credit to our students and the wonderful support they receive from their teachers (and I am sure their families as well).
This week we have also had the LoveBites sessions running supporting our student's understanding of how to navigate relationships and we have been completing our Progressive Aptitude Tests (PAT) assessments for reading and maths. Across the school our learning growth has proven to be incredibly strong in both areas with a special shout out to the students who have been participating in our reading program who have demonstrated phenomenal growth over the course of this year.
And our Hands-on Learning team have completed the construction and restoration of the garden box at the front of the school. Now we just need to work out what artwork we are going to do to decorate it.
Looking ahead to next week:
Monday & Tuesday: No School - staff are taking their professional practice day on Monday and Tuesday is the race that stops a nation (or at least a city).
Wednesday: Back to school - Games club is on at lunchtime come along and check it out.
Friday: 2027 subjects and student timetables released. Keep an eye on your emails next Friday as we will be sending home your elective choices for 2027. Students will have the opportunity to go through them with their advisory teacher on Tuesday of Week 6.
