Reporting this semester This year, due to COVID-19, Semester 1 report cards will be issued home to families on Friday, 24th July (Week 2, Term 3). All subject areas will appear on your child’s report except for HASS (Humanities & Social Sciences). Parent/teacher interviews will not take place this semester; however, your child’s teacher may contact you with information about your child’s learning progress this semester.

School sport update

This week our district school sport committee met to discuss arrangements for Term 3. There are a range of health and safety requirements that determine the type of events that we can safely deliver across our cluster of schools. Inter-school athletics carnival will not be held, however we are hoping to hold our inter-house athletics carnival in the second half of Term 3.

The committee has also identified Friday, 28th August as a Touch Football Gala Day for boys & girls in Years 5 & 6. We’ll keep you posted about sporting events across our cluster as decisions are made.
