Semester One Reports and Parent/Teacher Interviews

Our Junior School Semester One Reports will be available to parents on Toddle at 4.00pm on Friday, 12 June (Week 8). The format will look a little different from our SIMON reports. Prep to Year 6 students will be assessed against standards in English, Mathematics, Inquiry, Personal Development, Art, Chinese, Drama, Music and Physical Education. Learning Behaviours will also appear with each area of the curriculum. Behaviours will be assessed on a four-point scale: Consistently, Frequently, Sometimes and Rarely.

Classroom teachers will write a detailed Learning and Personal Development comment for each student.

Year 5 and Year 6 Semester One Reports will contain students’ self-reflections. Our students will respond to the following sentence stems.

• Something I am proud of is…….because….

• One area I have improved is……..

• My strengths include…..

• My goal for next term is…. 

Junior School Parent/Teacher Interviews will take place from 3.30pm to 6.00pm in Week 9 on Tuesday, 16 June, and in Week 10 on Wednesday, 24 June. Bookings can be made via Papery and will go live on Friday, 5 June. We have scheduled I.L.P (Individual Learning Plan) meetings for Tuesday, 23 June, and Thursday, 25 June. Semester One reports can also be discussed at these meetings.

College Has Got Talent

Congratulations to Emily and Evie McVeigh, Amina Barrera, Maggie Wallis, and Anika Nelson, who represented the Junior School at College Has Got Talent last Friday evening.

Well done to Hugo Cameron, Alinta Margetts, Patrick McDonald, Arlan MacDonald, Theo Horne, Adelaide Farquharson, and Maelys Haynes.

Farewell, Gappers Bella and Eddie

This week, we farewelled our British gap students, Bella Lloyd-Edwards and Eddie Ricketts. Their time with us has come to an end, and we have been blessed with two fabulous gappers who have made a huge impression at Myrniong. 

Their energy, optimism, dedication, and care for our Junior School students have been exemplary.  They have worked in our classrooms, assisted with camps, excursions, sporting events, and training. We wish them well on their travels and future endeavours, and hope they return to visit us.
