Level 5

Welcome Back!

Welcome Level 5 Families, 

We are pleased to announce that our Level 5 students have begun the school year with smiles and positivity. We have enjoyed hearing all of their Summer holiday stories, getting to know them and supporting them to get to know each other. 

Start Up Program 

Over the past week, students have engaged in the HEPS Start-Up program, where they have worked collaboratively to investigate what it means to be respectful, work as a team, show resilience, and face challenges. We have looked at what it means to grow and improve academically and how to support our well-being. 

Homework

Homework for Level 5 will begin in Week 4 and be completed in a designated homework book, which will come home with your child. 

Homework will consist of three things - 

1. Reading a book of your child's choice. (15 -20 minutes per night)
2. Spelling words. 
3. Mental maths such as times tables and other operations. 

iPads will not be required for any homework in Level 5. Worksheets will be pasted into books at school and sent home to be completed. Homework is not compulsory; we understand that families are busy and occasionally won't be able to complete the homework due to busy after-school and sporting commitments. We do encourage you to support your child to develop good study habits and complete the homework as much as possible. Information on when homework comes home and when it is due back to school will come from your child's teacher. 

Contact us 

If you need to contact us please make an appointment by either phoning the school or emailing us through Compass. Classrooms are busy places in the morning and often after school teachers have meetings. We welcome a strong home school partnership and want to take the time that is needed to meet with you regarding any questions and concerns you have.
