Semester One Report Cards

A reminder that report cards will be sent home on Friday July 24.  These reports will reflect that students learnt at school and remotely last semester.

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 or 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.

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

Academic and Encouragement Awards will be presented to students during Week 3. Academic Awards are presented to students who perform exceptionally well (All A and B results) 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.  If a student receives all A marks in their report card, an academic medal is awarded.

Teaching and Learning Meetings

During the first two weeks of this term, teaching staff and leadership are engaging in Teaching and Learning Meetings.  These meetings are to discuss the academic progress of all students and for future planning to maximise and prioritise teaching and learning in every classroom at St Saviour's Primary.  This time is also used for professional development opportunities and keeping up with current curriculum trends.  

Year 6 Sport Shirts

Dan Eagleson has informed me that he has some extra 2020 Year 6 leader shirts.  If your child has grown out of theirs or would like another one, please stop into the uniform shop to purchase a shirt.

Year 5 Camp

At this stage Year 5 Camp is going ahead this term from September 7 to 9 at Camp Cooby.  Parents of students in Year 5 will receive a letter home via Schoolzine this week with preliminary information about the camp.
