YEAR 10 NEWS

A GREAT TERM

Year 10 have made an incredible start to the school year.  As stated to the year group at our morning assembly this week, they have been peaceful and respectful in their interactions with each other and their teachers.  Undoubtedly students have felt some pressure as assessment tasks have started to come in across various subjects and I encourage students to seek help from their teachers so that they are organised with the approach they take to assessment tasks to reduce this stress.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Students have undertaken some beginning skills in managing their weekly timetable of home life, work and study in extended PALS.  This was to support them in balancing their commitments both in and outside of school.

To support Year 10 around this area which we view as crucial to student success students will undertake a study skills program which will be presented by Elevate who are an external specialist study skills group.  There are two sessions which will take a period each.  Elevate will present the sessions and be supported by our teachers.

Program:  Year 10: Study Sensei & Time Management              

When:  Session 1:  Tuesday 4th June (P4 & P5). 

             Session 2:  Monday 29th July (P4 & P5).

PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS

Just a reminder that teachers would love to have the opportunity to discuss your child's progress this term at the parent teacher conferences.  These will take place this evening until 7:30pm and by Zoom tomorrow.  Feedback from you is important as it informs possible learning directions for term 2 and beyond.

CROSS COUNTRY

Congratulations to all of the Year 10 students who chose to compete at the Cross Country at Wilandra on Wednesday 3rd of April.  These students were;

PASS STUDENTS - BRONZE MEDALLION 

Our year 10 PASS classes have been working through their bronze medallion throughout their Aquatics unit this term. This week they completed their second day at the pool where they had to complete a range of activities including survival skills fully clothed, 400m timed swim using survival strokes, a range of rescuing techniques and many more. Congratulations to all students who participated on both days and we are looking forward to presenting bronze medallions next term to those who passed all tests.
Mrs Clarke, Mr Cararro and Mr Ellul

I would like to wish all students a happy and restful holiday break and we will see you back bright and fresh for Term 2.
