Student Semester 1 Reports

Over the past week the staff have been gathering information about each student’s learning so they can accurately report on the current progression of their learning. This has taken the form of conducting some summative testing as well as collecting student data collected throughout the semester. The student reports will be a summation of the students’ learning in the first Semester of 2023. Reports will be made available to families on SIMON in the last week of the term.

 

Early next term, Tuesday 25th July, Wednesday 26th July and Tuesday 1st August, the staff will conduct 3-Way Conversations with all families, so they get the opportunity to discuss each student’s learning for Semester 1 and to set new learning goals for the remainder of the year.

 

Pupil Free Day

Pupil Free day - Monday 17th July.  The staff will be engaging in a Professional Development day with Toni Hatten-Roberts focusing on the learning and teaching in mathematics. 

 

God Bless
