Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been fantastic to have all of the children back at school for the last two weeks. As you would have seen in various photos, everyone was very excited to be back.
A few reminders this week...
Semester One Report Cards
Students will still receive report cards for Semester One. These report cards will reflect the fact that students have been learning both remotely and at school.
In accordance with Toowoomba Catholic Schools' and Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority directives, teachers will report on a minimum of five learning areas. Every year level will report on Maths, English, Religion and HPE. Year levels will then choose to report on Science and/or HASS depending on the evidence of learning that has been collected. That means that there will not be a grade for The Technologies, The Arts and Japanese this semester.
Teachers will still be providing marks via an A-E scale. These will be supported by comments in Maths and English and a general comment.
Given the timing of students returning to school, these report cards will be sent home on Friday July 24 (second week of Term 3).
If you have any questions about the report cards or are concerned in any way, please feel free to contact me on sam.hannant@twb.catholic.edu.au
