The View

From the Director of Primary

As Term 2 concludes, we celebrate the progress of the students across the Primary school.  The myriad of learning opportunities and extra-curricular programmes highlight the enormous amount achieved during the past ten weeks.   

 

The Mid-Year Reports, which are released today, in conjunction with the feedback provided through our online reporting structure, provide parents with information about the students’ strengths, areas for further development and most importantly, how they may be achieved.  The Learning Conferences, scheduled for Weeks 1 and 2 of Term 3, offer an opportunity to have encouraging and supportive conversations about learning goals across the curriculum.  

 

I sincerely thank the staff across the Primary school for providing such rich learning experiences for the students.  I wish the staff, students and families a safe and relaxing mid-year holiday break.   Term 3 commences on Tuesday, July 23.

Congratulations to Year 5 student Elizabeth Ims, on her selection as a CCYP Ambassador.

The Commissioner for Children and Young People (CCYP) Ambassador Program is an opportunity for children and young people to have their voices heard on how things could be improved for children and young people in Tasmania. Ambassadors will help the Commissioner understand what is important for children and young people and will be provided with opportunities to come together to discuss key issues and influence decision-makers.

 

CCYP Ambassadors will have the opportunity to meet with the Commissioner to:

  • Share their opinions and ideas about what is important to them to help the Commissioner be a strong advocate for Tasmanian children and young people.
  • Learn about and promote the rights that children and young people have under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
  • Complete special projects. These projects will be developed through conversations with CCYP Ambassadors and will inform the Commissioner’s work on behalf of children and young people in Tasmania.

Well done Elizabeth!
