Learning in Term 3

We are pleased to see how well our Prep to Year 6 students have engaged with their learning tasks during the first few weeks back from holidays, settling back into routines and making a positive start to Term 3.

Curriculum Newsletters

Class teachers have communicated Term 3 Curriculum Newsletters with parents which include detailed information about the focus units of work for this term. These newsletters will outline key learning objectives, ensuring you are aware of what your child will be learning throughout the term.

Additionally, we are excited to announce that our Student-Led conferences will take place in Week 10. These conferences are a wonderful opportunity for you to see your child's work samples, hear from them about their learning experiences, and discuss their progress with their teachers. It is a chance to celebrate achievements, identify areas for growth, and set goals for the future. Your participation in these conferences is highly valued and contributes significantly to your child's educational journey. An opportunity to book appointments will be sent out to all parents later this term.

Book Week

Parents and carers are invited to attend our Book Week Parade which will be held in the PAC at 9:15am on Friday 22^nd of August.

All students will be once again invited to come dressed as their favourite book character on this date. Dressing up is about celebrating the love of books and there is no need to have a bought or fancy costume – be creative! During the parade, each year level will parade across the stage to background music in class groups and stop for a photo opportunity.

The theme for Book Week 2025 is Book an Adventure.

To complete the challenge:

• Prep to Year 2 must read or experience at least 20 books
• Years 3 and 4 must read at least 20 books
• Years 5 to 9 must read at least 15 books.

 

Experiencing books can include shared reading, listening to stories, or reading picture books.

Every student who completes the challenge, and returns the completed record reader form to the office, will receive a Certificate of Achievement. I look forward to seeing as many of our students as possible take part in the 2025 Premier’s Reading Challenge.
