End of semester reports
Parents of students from Prep to Year 11 will be issued an end of semester report today at approximately 4pm, accessible via the Community Portal. The report is intended as a summary of student achievement in all subjects throughout Semester Two. Further details about individual assessment tasks, including assessment criteria and comments about the progress a student is making and areas for further improvement, can be found on My Aitken in the “Marks and Feedback” section for each of your children.
iPad onboarding
All 2023 Year 3 students and all new students who are entering Years 4 to 9 in 2023 will need to prepare their iPads for use at school, before Term 1 starts. Information about how to connect to the College Wi-Fi, how to install the required security certificates and how to set up email and My Aitken access will be provided to parents via a website. You will be able to work through the steps in a self-serve process. You will be sent your child’s Aitken College login details and a link to the set-up website in an email in January.
We will also have a remote help desk staffed by our IT support team in late January, which you can access via Zoom if you need assistance. All details will be provided via email as soon as they are ready to share.
Returning students in all other year levels will be given instructions on how to set up their iPads and Macbooks (for students in Years 10 – 12 only) for 2023 Wi-Fi access and how to download their digital books, in class on the first day of school.
IT technicians will be available to help students overcome any IT problems in the first week of school. Details on how to access this IT help will be advertised to students via their homeroom teachers.

Resource lists orders for students commencing in Prep to Year 10 in 2023 are due by 16 December for delivery in time for the start of Term 1. Any orders placed after the due date will still be processed by Campion, but delivery may be delayed.
