Reporting for Students in Years 1 - 3
There have been some significant changes to the way that student progress and achievement is reported on for children who are in the first three years of their primary school education.
Rather than reporting mid year and end of year, schools are now required to report to parents after the child has been at school one year, after two years and after three years.
As these anniversaries occur at different times during the school year, depending on the child, this raises some logistical issues for implementing the reporting process. Teachers in Years 1 - 3 have clustered students whose anniversaries fall around the same time and will report on them throughout that term. Your child’s teacher will communicate the dates and times of your child’s interviews.

Stranger Danger
There has been an approach made on a student recently which, though nothing untoward occurred was unsettling. It would seem a number of students are cutting through the bush at the end of Alec Craig Way which goes through the Golf Course and emerges by the Wentworth Gym.
