Student Reports

 

Hello again everyone,

It will soon be time to receive student reports. This year we have made some small changes to the usual format. We will report on each Key Learning Area on a five point scale and within English and Mathematics each strand of these areas will also be reported on in this way. Teachers will be able to explain why your child was awarded a particular level when you visit the school for an interview. The majority of children will achieve level C which means that they are achieving at the expected level for their grade. 

 

A. Well above level expected

The student has an extensive understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. The student has achieved a very high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these to new situations.

B. Above level expected

The student has a thorough understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and skills. The student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations.

C. At level expected

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.

D. Developing towards level

    expected

The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved a basic level of competence in the processes and skills.

 

E. Below level expected

The student has an elementary knowledge and understanding in a few areas of the content and has achieved very limited competence in some of the processes and skills.

The  Bounce Back! Resilience Program is designed to develop the key coping skills associated with self reliance, namely, self efficacy and a success orientation, a capacity to think optimistically and helpfully about situations, and being able to regulate one’s emotions.

The focus for weeks seven and eight will be CO-OPERATION exploring how we can co-operate with others and how co-operation can make our life easier. At home you could discuss what ways families co-operate with each other and ways families co-operate with the school, local community etc.

 

Environment Group

We will be laying newspaper and mulch as a weed mat in the tyre garden this week.  We’d love some extra hands to knock this job off!

Meet at 9am for ½ hr at the garden.  Thank you.

 

Voluntary Contributions.

Voluntary school contributions can still be paid before the end of Term 2. The cost is $25 for one child or $50 for two or more children. These funds are used to support the library and other school programs. All names go into a draw to win lunch at Lorenzo’s Restaurant, Keira Street, which will take place in the last week of term.

 

Northern Illawarra Aboriginal Education Consultative Group.

Date: Wednesday 17 June

Time: 3:45 pm

Parent-Teacher Interviews (Repeat)

Semester one reports will be sent home on Monday 29th June, however many of you will already know if you wish to meet with your child’s teacher. Listed below are the dates on which teachers are available for interviews. The children will bring home a sheet on which you can nominate a suitable time and you will then be advised of the exact time of your interview. If you have any questions, please see your child’s teacher. 5M parents who nominate to attend on Monday 29th June will receive their reports at the interview.
