The View

From the Deputy Principal

SEQTA Feedback and Reporting

Teachers spend a lot of time in the SEQTA space providing students with meaningful feedback continuously feeding forward so that students know where they went well and what things to improve on for next time. Mid-Year reports will be released via SEQTA on Thursday 4 July and to provide students/parents with a more formal opportunity to have a conversation about progress and set goals for the second semester, Learning Conferences will be held on Thursday 25 July and Tuesday 30 July. 

Bookings for Learning Conferences will need to be made online and parents and carers will receive their log in details via EdSmart correspondence in the last week of this term.

Mount Carmel Day

The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel takes place on Tuesday 16 July, but as we will be on term break for the actual day, the College will celebrate on Friday 5 July.

Students are asked to wear their College tracksuit on the day and a BBQ lunch and drink will be provided. Students with dietary requirements will be provided for and this information will be collected by Class/Clan teachers.  No iPads are to be brought to school on the day.

 

The plan for the day is as follows:

  • 8.45am – 9.45am: Class based activities
  • 10:00am: Whole school Mass (Kinder - Year 10) celebrated by Father Anthony Onyirioha in the Cahill Centre.
  • 11.15am – 12.30pm: Buddy classes will take part in a dance challenge and class based activities.
  • 12.30pm: BBQ lunch
  • 1.00pm: Staff v Students Dodge Ball Challenge

Primary Students

  • 1.30pm: Mixed age-group Challenges.

Secondary Students

  • 1.30pm: ‘Secondary Super Challenges’ conducted by the Student Leaders.

It is worth mentioning that the Quiz results will go towards House Points!  All students really need to get their thinking hats on as it is a very close race this year. 

This is a faith-filled and fun-filled day and attendance at this special event is expected.

Water Bottles

The health benefits of remaining hydrated during the school day have been well established.  However, there are a few protocols to follow in the use of water bottles.

  • Bottles are to be clear and contain only water
  • No water bottles are to be taken into the library, science or computer labs
  • Water bottles should not be used during significant school events.

More details on these protocols are located in the front section of the College planner.

Lockers

This is a timely reminder for students to ensure that they use their locker in a responsible manner.  Lockers should be locked at all times during the school day and are provided by the College as a secure place to store their belongings.  Valuables can be stored at the College office if extra security is required.
