Principal News
Reports and Three-Way Interviews
Mid-Year Reports will be given out from Thursday 1st July. Staff have spent a considerable amount of
time and effort to write about your child’s progress this year. Please take the time to sit and talk with
your child about his/her learning. You will then have the opportunity early in Term 3 to have an interview
with your child’s teacher. Three-way interviews are a great way to connect with your child ’s learning.
They will be held over two weeks in Term 3, starting from Monday 19th July through to Friday 30th
July. Interviews will go for 15 minutes. During this time discussion will be about your child’s Mid-Year
Report and your child will share the learning they have done in Semester 1. There will also be an
opportunity for you to discuss your child’s One Plan (if applicable). Please make the time to book an
interview with your child’s class teacher.
Year 6 and Year 7 Graduation
All Year 7 students will be entering high school starting in 2022. This means that all Year 6 and Year 7
students will be having a graduation ceremony towards the end of this year. The gradua tion ceremony
will take place at Grand Central on Wednesday 1st December. All Year 6s and Year 7s will graduate in
this ceremony with awards given for both Year 6 and Year 7 academic achievement and effort. Keep an
eye out for further information from the Year 6 and 7 teachers in term 3.
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) on School Students
with Disability
All schools are required to collect information about the numbers of students that they provide
adjustments to under the Disability Discrimination Act (1992) and Disability Standards of Education
(2005). The NCCD involves the collection of;
· the number of students receiving adjustments to enable them to participate in education on the same
basis as other students
· the level of adjustment provided to students
· student’s type of disability if known
Under the model the definition of disability is broad and includes learning difficulties, health, and mental
health conditions. If your child is identified for inclusion in the Collection, the required information will be
included in this year’s data collection. If you have any questions about the data collection, please contact
Christine Isemonger on 82552219.

Learning News - C5
In C5, we have been learning about plant structure and ways to care for our plants. We linked our
knowledge to our learning of design through creating a 3D model plant of our choice. We created our
design brief, including simple diagrams, labels, and materials, and used our resources to create our 3D
plant models. Below are some photos of how we created our designs and our final products.
Birthdays - July
Library News
The Library staff hope everyone is enjoying the Books in Homes they were presented with last week. We
had many ecstatic students receive their chosen books to take home and share with their families, and
anticipate they will bring much joy over the coming school holidays.
Our Premiers Reading Challenge display wall is growing, quite literally. With classes and students
continually completing sheets, we have already given out so many prizes and can ’t wait to see more
filtering through!
Coming up in library events next Term in early August, we will be holding the Scholastic Book Fair in the
Performing Arts room, with parents able to choose titles before and after school with their children
(pending any updated restriction guidelines).
Opening Times: 8.10 - 8.40am & 3.00 - 3.30pm.
Hoping everyone has a lovely break, and as always, Happy Reading!
Doughnut Day
On Tuesday the 29th of June Goodman (Green Team) celebrated with a Krispy Kreme Doughnut Day for
earning the most house points across the school for term 2. Each student can earn points for their team if
they consistently demonstrate the school values. This term it was extremely close with Penfold (Red
Team) only just missing out and Manston (Blue Team) coming third.
