Hollows House Updates
Welcome to Week 3 of Term 2. This week has seen the start of our annual NAPLAN testing for year 7 and 9 students. On behalf of all of us in Hollows, congratulations to those who have sat the tests throughout Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. Make up NAPLAN testing will occur over the next week, as well as the completion of our Attitudes to School Surveys, which we again run every year to work on improving our school and gaining powerful feedback form those who matter the most, the students.
On Monday, we had our first Student Led Conferences for the year. This was a great opportunity to gain feedback on how we were going as students, as well as where we can improve. It was really pleasing to hear so many positive conversations being had over in the Hollows house.
We had a very high number of Student Led Conferences from Hollows House students- a great insight into how many of our students value their learning and want to improve their results.
As a house, we continue to achieve a large number of values nominations.
