STAFF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

This term the staff have been involved in professional learning that will build their capacity in delivering the new NESA Science syllabus to the students and integrating STEM technologies across KLA's. To support the implementation of STEM into classroom lessons we will be purchasing a variety of plugged and unplugged resources such as robots, coding activities, construction materials. We thank Mr Ben Woods from the Catholic Education Office who has been facilitating this learning with our staff.

STUDENT WORKBOOKS

Next Friday 29 March 2019 the students will be bringing home their work books to share their current learning. Please take the time to view your child’s learning and spend some time reflecting on their learning goals and achievements. Students will then complete their online reflection with you.

All student work books MUST be returned to school on the following Monday.

MOBILE PHONES/WATCHES

If students need to bring a mobile phone to school for after school procedures it must be handed into the office when they arrive at school. It will be kept in the office throughout the day and can be collected at the end of the school day.

Watches that allow students access to communicate with family and friends during school hours are not permitted at school. Students wearing Fitbits and similar watches are required to turn off all notification capabilities to ensure they are not disturbing other students and the teachers as they work.
