Dr Judith Locke Presentation

We are very thankful for Dr Judith Locke’s presentations this week to parents and staff. Her research and findings sparked a lot of discussion and conversation. If you missed her presentation this week, please be on the lookout for upcoming parent sessions.    

iLearn Yr 7 Pastoral Page

Students now have access to all of their iLearn courses including the Yr 7 Pastoral page. We will continue to populate this iLearn course with content around study skills, digital citizenship and key information. Weekly announcements, key contacts and a copy of the Tutor Period schedule is linked for students as well.   

Student Acknowledgements

Please send through photos and/or announcements for any special commendations or achievements of your Yr 7 children. We’d love to spotlight your child during our weekly Year Meetings!

Student Absences

When absent, students are expected to check iLearn for any missed work and are encouraged to write their teachers an email asking for any further information to support their learning when they are absent for multiple days. 

Yr 7 Home Learning

Students are starting to get into the routine of checking their email and iLearn daily.  Students should have approximately 20 minutes per class of Home Learning. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate with the teacher regarding Home Learning completion or make up. Further information is in the Student Planner for student’s reference.

In 2019 the following vaccines will be offered:

Parent Information Kits will be sent home in Week 5 and we ask that you read all the information provided, complete the consent form and return the completed consent form to your child’s Tutor in Week 6.
