Welcome to Semester 2!
We have hit the ground running and are really looking forward to an exciting and busy start to the second half of the school year.
Enhancing Our Secondary Learning Spaces
Over the break, we introduced structural changes to our secondary classes. We have focussed on creating teachable student cohorts that will hopefully allow for targeted, and impactful instruction. Part of the restructuring has also freed up space to open our brand-new "Pre-Employment" Room. This dedicated hub will allow students to engage directly in micro-enterprise activities, equipping them with the practical skills and confidence needed to help provide some meaningful skills for life after school.
Playground Upgrades
Active learning and connection continue outside the classroom. Have you seen the vibrant new play panels installed in the playground just outside the library? These interactive stations are already a massive hit, significantly improving student interaction, communication, and engagement during break times. As always improving opportunities to engage students in play and social based learning is a huge challenge and we look forward to this space really helping us to provide these opportunities.
Parent Interview Day Success
A huge thank you to our wonderful community for making the Term 3 Parent Interview Day an overwhelming success. We had a remarkably high proportion of parents take up the opportunity to sit down with teachers. These valuable discussions focused deeply on each child’s educational program and mapped out clear "where to next" goals for the months ahead. We really do believe that education involves input from all so we truly appreciate your time and involvement.
Front Playground Mural Update
Unfortunately, we have hit a minor snag with our planned front playground mural. Due to high levels of moisture seeping through the retaining wall, the surface could not be painted at this time. We are disappointed by the delay, but our team is already actively investigating alternative technical options to bring this creative project to life safely and permanently.
We are incredibly proud of our students' progress so far this year and look forward to a fantastic, productive, and inspiring second semester ahead!
