End of Semester Reports

Parents of students from Prep to Year 11 will be issued an end of semester report today at approximately 4.00pm, accessible via the Community Portal. The report is intended as a summary of student achievement in all subjects throughout Semester 2. Further details about individual assessment tasks, including assessment criteria and comments about the progress a student is making and areas for further improvement, can be found on My Aitken in the “Marks and Feedback” section for each of your children.

Campion Booklist Collection - Wednesday 23 January 2019

A reminder that booklist orders for those who have selected the pick-up from the school option when ordering, can be collected from the College on Wednesday 23 January 2019 between 8.30am and 12.30pm and from 1.00pm until 5.00pm. The distribution centre will be Common Room 1 – in the first Senior School building. The busiest times are always the start and the end of the day, so if you do not need to come at those times you might find you have a shorter wait time.

iPad Onboarding

Students entering Year 6 and Year 7 in 2019 will need to visit the school with their iPad at any of the times listed below, in order to set up their Aitken College WIFI access, email accounts, security certificates and digital textbooks. We will have a team of IT specialists on hand to assist with the process, which should only take about 15 minutes.

• Wednesday 23 January between 8:30am and 5pm – in VCE 1 – near the Campion book collection area.
• Tuesday 29 January to Friday 1 February, between 9am and 4pm – please visit Reception

Having their iPads set up and ready to use on Day 1 of 2019 with their textbooks downloaded will, we hope, ensure that some of the inevitable first-day anxieties are minimised so students can focus on getting to know each other and their teachers.

Students in all other year levels will be given instructions on how to set up their iPads for 2019 WIFI access and how to download their digital books, in class on the first day of school.

We will also have a number of IT technicians available to help students overcome any IT problems in the first week of school. Details on how to access this IT help will be advertised to students via their Homeroom teachers.
