Bulletin Week 10, Term 2

Welcome to the Week 10 Parent Bulletin. Student reports will be sent home this Thursday, the last day of Term 2. The reports provide grades for each subject and rankings according to how students display the school’s values and conclude with a written summary of each student’s achievements from the first half of the year.

Teachers will be available to meet with parents to discuss their child’s school report at the beginning of Term 3.

A summary of student grades for each year level, with de-identified data, will be available for parents on request. This will include the percentage of students receiving A, B, C, D and E grades. Please contact the office staff to obtain this information, which will be available from the beginning of next term.

Our Reception Mid Year Intake students will visit for their 3rd and final transition visit this Thursday, 6th July for a full day. We look forward to welcoming them for their next visit, before they begin school next term.

The last day of Term 2 is this Thursday, 6th of July. Dismissal will be at 3:15pm. I wish all families a safe and happy holidays and look forward to welcoming everyone back for the second half of the year on Monday, 24th of July.
