Curriculum 

By Week 4, students will have access to  their Assessment Calendar for Semester 1. Teachers will be continually updating details of what each assessment task is about so it is important that the calendar is continually viewed. 

Links will be provided on the Newsletter for Parents to view the calendars as well.

Student Diary

All Secondary students have been given a diary to help develop their organisational skills. All teachers will expect students to bring their diaries to all classes to write down their homework, assessment tasks and study requirements. Please discuss with your child. The diary will be used as a communication tool between parents, students and teachers.

On Thursday (6th) and Monday (10th), Year 7 had their transition days into Secondary to help them prepare for the year to come. This included:

*  navigating their timetable

*  following secondary bell times

*  understanding expectations for behaviour and diary use

*  setting up and using their Chromebook 

*  participating in team building activities

 

It was great to see the enthusiasm of the Year 7 students for their new school year !
