Teaching and Learning
Learning Celebration
Our semester 1 learning celebration will occur on Monday of week 10 (20th of June). This is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate the academic, cultural and behavioural successes of our students and reflect on the learning that has occurred this semester. The parents of students receiving awards will receive an invitation before the event.
Academic Reporting
Semester 1 report cards will be sent out via email in week 10. Academic reporting involves communicating information to parents and students about student achievement and progress for each learning area and/or subject undertaken, at a point in time. This semester, teachers are reporting on all Key Learning Areas. If your contact details have changed, please ensure you update the office so that it arrives in your inbox!

We still have some spaces left on all 3 days- students are still welcome to join. We run Monday, Tuesday & Thursdays - 2:45 to 3:45 it includes staff to support homework activities like, reading, sight words & number facts as well as afternoon tea.

Premier's Reading Challenge
The Premier's Reading Challenge begins on the 9th of May and goes through until the 26th of August. Reading Logs will go home soon. The Premier's Reading Challenge is not a competition but a way to encourage students to develop a love of reading for life. Through the challenge children are given an opportunity to develop their appreciation of the English language, and additional languages, and are encouraged to explore and enjoy a wide range of literary texts.
For a student to successfully complete the Premier's Reading Challenge they are required to read or experience the number of books indicated below:
- Prep to Year 2—read or experience 20 books.
- Years 3 to 4—read 20 books.
- Years 5 to 9—read 15 books.
Experiencing a book includes classroom or at home activities such as shared reading, listening and reading along with a book, or being read to. The requirement for Year 5 through to Year 9 students to read 15 books rather than 20 books acknowledges that older students are likely to select longer, more complex books that may take them longer to read. Students are encouraged to select a range of fiction and non-fiction books suited to their reading ability.
