Principal's Message - Mr Steve Thorne
Sacred Heart of Jesus
19 June
Immaculate Heart of Mary
June 20
This week we can reflect as we celebrate the feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. God is Love and the Sacred Heart of Jesus — present on earth in the Blessed Sacrament — is the human manifestation of God's Love for us. Appropriately in the northern hemisphere, June is considered the month for weddings where human hearts join and cooperate with the Creator in bringing forth new life.

Semester 1 Interim Reports & Interviews
Reports will be available on compass from Friday afternoon.
Features the Interim Report for Semester 1 contains: |
Why? |
● Explanation of Interim Report to parents
|
● This Interim Report reflects the learning engagement undertaken during classroom and remote learning over the course of Term 1 and mid -Term 2, 2020. The Key Learning Areas of Religious Education, English and Mathematics have been a key focus for many of the classroom and remote learning lessons delivered during Terms 1 and 2.
|
● Learning Engagement for Religious Education, English and Mathematics
|
● Previously schools have reported to parents twice per year and report on student progress and achievement against a five point scale. Due to the current circumstances and the need for schools to teach remotely, valid assessment of student learning has been challenging. Therefore, it seems more appropriate that student engagement in learning in the three Key Learning Areas is reported on for the period of Term 1 up until the middle of Term 2.

Cyber Safety

- When was the last time you checked your child’s history?
- Have you scanned messages to pick up the ‘tone’ of the conversations?
- How long does your child spend looking at a screen?
