Parent-teacher interviews
Over the past few weeks, we have had the pleasure of welcoming families for Parent-Teacher Interviews for our Year 7 and Year 12 students, as well as new families to the school. These meetings provided an invaluable opportunity to discuss student progress, set academic goals, and strengthen the partnership between home and school. A heartfelt thank you to all families who joined us, whether in person or online. A reminder that Parent-Teacher Interviews for families of students in Years 8 to 11 will take place in mid-Term 2. Further details regarding bookings and schedules will be communicated closer to the date.
Legendary Learners Hub
Year 12 students and their families now have access to the Legendary Learners Hub on SEQTA. This tailored online resource aids in academic planning, with valuable tools for ATAR and APEx courses:
• Past assessments for ATAR and APEx pathways are available, including marking keys and sample scripts.
• A detailed marks book is provided to help students track their progress towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).
• Customised study strategies are included to enhance learning outcomes.
We recommend that students start by arranging their study areas at home to foster a suitable learning environment. For APEx students, please remember that the Externally Set Tasks (EST) are just nine weeks away. ATAR students should also be aware that Semester One examinations will commence in 11 weeks.
