Assistant Principal's Report

Assemblies

Generally, each second Monday morning students are involved in an assembly. Assemblies are an opportunity to provide information to a larger group of students at once as well as recognize and celebrate the efforts and achievements of our students.

Please check Compass for schedule of Assembly dates and locations. Due to current restrictions and requirements assemblies maybe slightly different in Term 3.

Student Assessment and Reports

Students / families will receive their end of semester report on the last day of Term 2 via Compass. Due to Covid -19 reports might look slightly different to what they have in the past. With all reports they provide students, teachers and parents / carers with a clear and concise picture of a student’s achievement and progress at a point in time. Teachers make informed and consistent decisions about student progress against the Victorian Curriculum achievement standards (Years 7-10) or VCE / VCAL outcomes (Year 11 & 12). This semester teacher’s will not be reporting against the Victorian Curriculum.

I encourage parents / carers to read the report and have a discussion with your child. It is great to read the positives in the report on what your child has achieved. It is also important to looks for ways to improve and make the most of the educational opportunities. Students are encouraged to set goals for the remainder of the year.

Early Dismissal Friday 26 June

Students will be dismissed on Friday 26 June at 2:30 pm. Periods 1- 4 will run at normal times; however period 5 will be shortened to accommodate the early dismissal.
