Teaching & Learning

Three Way Conferences

It has been so wonderful to have parents and carers back on school grounds during Three Way Conferences. From all accounts, they have been a successful opportunity for students to share their learning, growth and goals with their teacher and parents. 

We have had 217 Three Way Conferences across the school. It is lovely to see so many parents and carers engaged in their child's learning. Research suggests that parental engagement in students learning can add an additional three months growth each year to a student's learning. So, thank you to everyone that made the time to engage in the Three Way Conferences. 

Cross Country

Yesterday, we sent out a Schoolzine notification about Cross Country. The Cross Country Carnival is the only carnival each year that every year group across the school participates in. 

It will be held on Thursday 25th March (Week 8). Kindergarten and Year 1 will start their races at approximately 11.40am and the carnival will run until lunch time (1.25pm). We are currently looking for parent helpers. Some of the jobs we need help for are:

  • Finish line - to help give out place cards to students when they finish the race.
  • Course Marshals - positioned at checkpoints along the course to help cheer on students and show them where to go.
  • Recorders - complete results table for each age group in the order that they finish.
  • Ribbons - write out ribbons for the first 3 girls and first 3 boys in each age group.

If you are able to help in anyway please click on the link below and complete your details. Please note that all those assisting are to have a Working With Vulnerable People card on them or present to the Front Office on the day to sign a Statutory Declaration for child safe purposes. Anyone adults presenting with signs and symptoms of flu or recently having travelled to an identified 'hot spot' should not come on school grounds.
