ANZAC Day
Last Thursday, students and staff represented Southern Christian College at the ANZAC Day Dawn Service on Osborne Esplanade, Kingston Beach, and lay a flower wreath.
On the 25 April 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. These became known as ANZACs and the pride they took in the name continues to this day.
On ANZAC Day we honour the men and women who died in the service of their country and gave us the freedoms that we enjoy today.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” - John 15:13

News
This is a good way to see highlights of events and activities across the school. We will also highlight upcoming events and activities.
Calendar
Major school events are added to the Schoolbox calendar. This is an easy way to check in on dates for activities involving your child/children or our special community activities.
Primary
During Term 1, our Primary parents have been receiving some updates on what has been happening in our classes. This has included some insights into class or school activities, our units of inquiry or class excursions. This term, we will begin adding 'Learning Moments'. These are specific insights into your child's learning or experience at school.
Secondary
Our Secondary students have been receiving feedback from their assessment tasks. You can also see this feedback. You will see the profile for your child/children on the home screen. Click on their name or photo and that will take you to the activity feed where details of each task, the feedback and results can be seen.
Select the Due Work option to view their assessment calendar.
With any new system, there are challenges. We appreciate the patience and support as we have navigated the transition to a new platform. There still remains some challenges in the connection between our timetabling platform and Schoolbox. This is an issue that stops student timetables from appearing in Schoolbox. Our Schoolbox provider is working hard to resolve this.
