Dear Parents and Carers,

At the end of a semester that will be remembered for a lifetime, today your child’s report is coming home. As you are aware it is a modified report based on the challenge of Covid-19 time and remote learning. Both NESA and our Archdiocese have modified expectations of what is to be reported. For this report cycle teachers have used the evidence that they have been able to collate this semester - especially the evidence of learning since the students have returned to school midterm. As parents you may wonder about the grading as you have spent significant time with your child / children during remote learning and witnessed their level of engagement and achievement in the home setting. Teachers have not used remote learning evidence in this report. The judgement for Semester 1, 2020 may look different to previous school reports. We are all looking forward hopefully for a full term (and semester) of learning beyond the coming holidays. You will have the opportunity to discuss your child’s learning at the three way learning conferences next week.

Farewell This week we said thank you and farewell to Miss Russell for her dedication and service of 14 years to St Patrick’s. We wish Jen well in her new ventures.

 

 

Happy weekend: Two quotes that may inspire your weekend with your children:

  

Kind regards,

Jo
