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 

Semester One Academic Awards

As Semester One report cards will be sent home in Term 3, academic awards will also be held until after the holidays.  Academic awards are presented to students who perform exceptionally well in all learning areas over the course of a semester.  One member of each class also receives an academic encouragment award for the effort they put into their learning over a semester.

Interschool Sport - Term 3

Term 3 is usually the term that our Year 5 and 6 students participate in interschool sport.  Unfortunately, this competition has been cancelled this year due to restrictions that are in place regarding COVID 19.  It is unknown whether there will be interschool sport in Term 4 this year.  If there is sport in Term 4, we will certainly have discussions around whether St Saviour's Primary will participate.  

I do understand that these Friday afternoons, where students can compete against other schools, are an important part of their education.  We will certainly monitor the latest restrictions that are in place in the event that a replacement activity could take place.

Darling Downs Trials

The following sports will still have Darling Downs Trials in 2020.  When the dates are closer, parents will receive a Schoolzine alert from Mr Luck.  Students will need to see him and collect a nomination form.  Please remember that these trials won't be a 'come and try' day.  Students will need to excel in their chosen sport and be very competent in the rules and regulations.
