NAPLAN
From Wednesday March 15th to Friday March 24th our year 7 and 9 students completed there online NAPLAN tests for 2023. The students should be commended the time and effort they put into the tests. Students had a fantastic attitude towards the tests and completed them to the best of their abilities. With NAPLAN being completed earlier in the year we hope to have NAPLAN results for students in late term 2. These will be sent out to families and also teachers so they can use he data to support students in class.
Resilience youth Survey
Over the last few days, all students have completed the Resilient Youth Survey provided by the City of Brimbank. Student voice is an important priority at our College, and survey responses feed into our daily work. Responses will also be used by the Social and Emotional Well Being working party.
Year 7 Iron Form Day
Our Super Star Year 7 students had a fantastic day on Thursday March 30th with the Iron Form activities. Students and their Home Group teachers worked steadily throughout the first few weeks of Term 1 to present a mascot, a banner and a song that best represented each Home Group. Students finished the day with team relay races such egg. Students enjoyed the competition between Home Groups. Thank you to Our Transition Leader Krystal Allison and our Home Group teacher, Team Leaders, and Campus Leader for their ongoing support of our students.
College Athletics Carnival
There are not many opportunities for all the students from the College to come together and so the annual College Athletics Carnival is always a highlight. The weather was excellent for a great day of friendly competition between students and Campuses. Congratulations to all student athletes who competed and represented their teams so well. First place winners will go on to represent the College at the Keilor Division Athletics Carnival in term 3. The friendly competition also extends to the staff competing in the staff 100m Copperfield Gift, Shot Put competition and the Relay event against our Delahey students.
Discovery Evening
A big thank you to Ms Krystal Allison (Campus Transition Leader) for all of her work in organising and promoting the Discovery Evening last week. This event is a great chance for prospective students and their families to see the campus and hear about the wonderful opportunities that enrolling at Copperfield College- Sydenham Campus offers. The evening’s tag line “there’s more to Copperfield than you know” did not disappoint.
Campus Goals
We were very proud at our campus assembly to also congratulate our 2022 students who had made last year a Year of Champions. We shared with students how well we had achieved last year’s goals and how much we valued their contribution to that achievement. We unveiled our 2023 campus goals;
- Improving Student Attendance,
- Seating Arrangements based on Student Data,
- Positive Behaviour recognition – Rewarding students for doing the right thing.
- Fostering pride in our environment- classrooms, corridors and in the yard
We invited students to help us work towards these new goals and to make 2023 a Champions Together!
Mr Andrew Atherton and Ms Mary Chiodo Campus Principals
