Curriculum 

Students in the past week have begun to receive Assessment tasks for Term 1. Please have a conversation with your child so that you are aware of what each assessment is about. To assist your child to be prepared and organised, have them print off their Assessment Schedule (this can be done from the calendar) so that they can create a plan / timetable of when tasks are due. Some assessments will be completed in class, at home or a combination of both. If your child is experiencing difficulty, it is important that they have a discussion with their Subject Teacher(s) straight away either in person or by email. 

 

Just a reminder that calendars are updated all the time, especially with details about assessment tasks, so students need to continue referring to them throughout the term. 

Student Diary

All Secondary students have been given a diary to help develop their organisational skills. All teachers will expect students to bring their diaries to all classes to write down their homework, assessment tasks and study requirements. Please discuss with your child. The diary will be used as a communication tool between parents, students and teachers.

Stage 4 and 5 Agriculture

After a wonderful break, our secondary Agricultural students have returned to school eager to learn.  2020 is a wonderful year to be studying  Ag, as we have not only welcomed back Year 8 into the Ag Plot, but we have also welcomed Year 9 and 10!

 

Over the holidays, the dust has been washed off our rain gauge which has held 200+ millimeters of rain so far this year! 

 

We are very excited for the year ahead and we cannot wait to show you our journey of whats to come!

GRIP Student Leadership

On Tuesday 25 February eight secondary students attended the GRIP Student Leadership conference to gain insight and develop skills to apply in their leadership positions.

The GRIP Student Leadership Conference concentrates specifically on training student leaders for their role as school leaders. The style, topics, and content of the conference focused on what the students can do to initiate immediate change.

Students left the conference with a clear vision, a solid understanding and dozens of amazing ideas for their time as leaders.

We would like to offer our sincerest thanks to Toowoomba Anglican School for hosting us.
