Parent Teacher Conferences
As we approach the last few weeks of Term, Parent Teacher interviews will be held on Thursday 21st March. We run this in two parts:
- Session 1 – 11:00am – 4:00pm will be held onsite face to face in various locations - Library, Year 11 Centre, and Year 12 VCE Centre.
- Session 2 – 5:00pm – 7:00pm will be virtual meetings held online.
I also recommended perusing your child’s interim report prior to attending as a good starting point for conversations. We also strongly recommend that students attend with parents where possible. A Compass post explaining how to book has already been sent.
NAPLAN
NAPLAN testing commenced this week for students in Year 7 and 9. All NAPLAN testing is online, and our IT team and staff have been working with students to ensure individual devices are properly set up to enable access to the testing. This is a significant task and requires a massive effort from our staff and IT team. Thank you to all involved in making this happen.
OH&S Drills
To meet our OH&S requirements and remain compliant, last week we completed a lockdown drill. It is pleasing to report that it ran successfully and has provided useful feedback to further enhance our systems and processes.
Swimming Carnival
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend this year’s swimming carnival but by all reports the whole school event was a great success - it is very pleasing to have the entire school at one event. I would like to acknowledge Ms Giannino who did a tremendous job in organising and coordinating the day and the planning in the lead up to the day.
Building Update
We have finally obtained access to the new auditorium. We are very excited about using this space and Ms Mortellaro was thrilled to be teaching her dance classes on our new sprung dance floor. We look forward to hosting many events and performing art shows now and well into the future.
Respect, Initiative, Learning
Finally, I have included the College RIL matrix for your perusal. This is an important document for our college, and we encourage all members of our school community; students, staff, and parents to be familiar with these behaviours and values.
