Interim Reports and Family, Student and Teacher Interviews 

We finished Term 1 with student/family/teacher interviews. Attended very well in this post COVID environment.

The GALA

Thursday March 31 and Friday April 1, congratulations to all students and staff involved in the production. You can’t stop the music (the musical) was an outstanding example of the talent we have at Copperfield.

COVID Update

We are still having a small number of positive cases and close contacts reported. We are continuing to deliver packs of 5 RAT kits to every student fortnightly at our campus. Up until Week 4 this will continue in Term 2. 

Tutoring Program 

2022 has seen the return of the Tutor Learning Initiative, which is designed to support students whose learning has been disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kings Park and Sydenham students from year 7 to 10 are selected by their English and Mathematics classroom teachers in conjunction with one of 15 tutors to receive tutoring within their normal class time each week, supporting them on specific goals. This year we have also been able to employ a Japanese tutor to support these classes also. Year 11 and 12 students at Delahey opt for tutoring during study periods with one of 4 part-time tutors employed at Delahey. 

A total of 659 students are currently receiving tutoring with over 75% setting goals related to consolidating foundation skills, stepping through key concepts, breaking down/ scaffolding tasks, building confidence, and the ability to set goals, organise themselves and assess their own progress. These students will also have their Approaches to Tutoring reported to families in the Term 1 Interim Reports. 

NAPLAN Practice Tests 

All of our Year 7 and 9 students have become familiar with the tools and NAPLAN conditions, this will be of benefit when we enter the test period in May. All year 8 students are completing NAPLAN simulation this year so that we can intervene and improve our results for this cohort in 2023.
