WAY OF THE CROSS & EASTER CELEBRATIONS

Next week we come to an important time in the Church year. We have a significant Catholic Tradition at school to journey in prayer through the last few days of Jesus' time on earth, often referred to as the Way of the Cross. We then end our term with the Joy of Easter & the Easter Hat Parade.

Please come along and share in these special celebrations that remind us of the real meaning of Easter.

I wish you all a Happy, Holy & safe Easter break.

School resumes for students on WEDNESDAY APRIL 26th.

ANZAC DAY MARCH

We will put out a Compass message of how students can be involved in the annual Anzac Day march.

PARENT/TEACHER INTERVIEWS

These are on Monday & Tuesday next week. Please book a time if you haven’t already. Interviews are held in the hall for 15 minutes per interview. We ask that parents arrive on time to keep the schedule working. If you feel you will need more time please contact your child’s teacher early next term.

You have the choice to have your child involved in the interview or you can talk the child’s teacher without your child present.

Below are some ideas about what to ask at Parent/Teacher interviews:

  1. How has my child's education improved during the year?

This is the 'where have they come from?' question. This question focuses on how much your child's learning has improved during the year and sets the scene for your child's next steps in learning.

  1. Where should my child be now?

Where my child’s learning should be for their year group and age, not just compared to other students in their class, but compared to the expected national standards. Are they ahead, at the required level, or are they behind?

  1. What does my child need to learn next?

The more accurately your child's teacher can answer the question of where your child sits with respect to other children around Australia, the more useful the answer to this question will be.

  1. Is my child engaged in class and enjoying the subject?

Ask the teacher or teachers about your child's attitude towards learning in general and especially their effort level. The answer to these questions can help you understand if you need to play a part in improving your child's attitude to learning.

  1. Is my child happy?

Ask about your child's socialisation skills. Do they make friends easily? Do they have a variety of friendship groups? Do they behave appropriately?

The really critical question is what's the next step?
