Cross Country

Students in Kinder to Year 10 had the opportunity to run, jog or walk the school cross country course last week.  Thank you to our wonderful Port Sport Leaders who assisted the junior students on the day with encouragement and helping them stay on track. A big thankyou to Mr Sanders our HPE Coordinator and the HPE team for organising the event.  Please find attached a cross country report and photos from the day.

Reporting

Mid-Year Learning Conversations/Reporting

In 2020 the reporting requirements for schools have changed given the impact of COVID on teaching and learning programs. 

Teachers in Kinder to Year 10 in week 10 of Term 2 and week one and two of Term 3 will be contacting parents/guardians to inform them of the child’s progress. 

Subjects to Be Reported Against - Mid-Year Learning Conversations

Kindergarten Development Check (KDC) for Kinder students

Literacy and Mathematics for Prep – 6

Teachers will be phoning parents/guardians to inform them of their child’s progress being Working Towards Standard, At Standard or Above the Standard Expected.  Teachers will also provide parents with an indication of how their child has settled back into face to face lessons and their wellbeing.

This is an opportunity for parents to ask questions of teachers and understand what their child needs to do to continue to progress with their learning.
