Senior School Report  

With the conclusion of Term 1, the Year 11 students have started to settle and become more comfortable being part of the Senior School and are working productively and effectively.

The Sub School has interviewed students and in some cases have had parent meetings regarding Progress Reports. These reports are continuously being used to monitor students at risk, and identify students who are ready for further extension in their studies.

The Year 12 Progress Reports were informative for both students and parents as they closely monitor individual students’ progress on a regular basis – reporting on formative tasks as well as the SACs. Parents can access all reports through Compass.

Coordinators are continuing to conduct class visits to encourage punctuality to classes. It is essential for students to organise their time and be punctual to classes so that everyone can make the most of their class time and disruptions are minimised.

There were assemblies held on Friday 13th March. The Year 12 VCAL students presented information about ‘National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence’. The SLAT (Student Learning Advisory Team) spoke about the ‘Effort rubric’ and the school captains spoke about the ‘Student Attitude to School’ survey, which is an annual survey of all state school students every year in Victoria.

There was also a presentation about students reflecting on their Progress Report

• What have they done well?
• Where do they need to improve?
•  Are they on track to achieving their goals for the year?

These conversations can continue at home with their families.

The Year 11 SRC members were introduced during the assembly:

Jasmin Mondia (11V)

Ngoc Truong (11F)

Iris Wen (11F)

Thanazal Jawfer (11B)

Jamal Baba (11A)

Congratulations to you all.

Just a reminder that all ‘Learning Tasks’ and the ‘Students Weekly Planners’ are accessible through Compass for parents/guardians to see what tasks are being done in various subjects during the semester. During this difficult time, students are expected to do their work on line and check in with their teachers. Please make sure you are accessing Compass for updates on the situation with COVID-19 and the school’s position.

Many thanks to the parents who contact us when their child is absent for any reason. This is of great assistance to the Year Level Coordinators, as we will call home regularly if there are any unexplained absences.

The Case Management process has begun and the attendance, achievement and individual needs of all our students continues to be monitored closely.

Please contact us on 9366 2555 or senior@stalbanssc.vic.edu.au if you have any queries or concerns about the progress of your child.
