Miss Twarloh presented more informaon about how we use Seesaw. Following this, I spoke to parents and carers about school maers of interest and any other quesons they had. This was the first of regular morning teas we plan to run under the support of our P&C Associaon. Coming up in Week 10, students will receive their Semester School Report. As there is a Stage 2 Camp, we will hand out all Reports on Wednesday 4 July (Wk.10). With our reports, the benchmark levels we strive towards is Sound Achievement. It is defined as ‘The student has a sound knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved an adequate level of competence in the processes and skills ’. I would like to assure all parents and carers that students who receive this mark are at expected benchmark levels. There will also be students who are achieving under this or above this level. Further clarificaon can be sought through your class teacher. As Principal, I look closely at the ‘Effort’ students place into their school work. We are connually encouraging students to do their best. The back page also gives you a nice snapshot of their engagement in ‘school life’.
