STAFF CHANGES

Welcome to:

• Miss Bonnie Chen who will be teaching Maths and Science
• Miss Aleisha Ford who is replacing Mr McAllister this term
• Ms Barbara Granger will continue with Ms Tyrrell’s classes 4 days per week; the other day will be covered by Mrs Cullen and Miss Tabesh.
• Mrs Janet Cartwright joins us as Acting Principal while Mrs Scott is on leave.

AFTERNOON STUDY CHANGES – TERM 3

From Term 3 onwards afternoon study will be held from 3.30-4.30 only on Wednesday of each week. We have found that very few students are requiring study assistance and possibly utilising:

• Google docs – and getting feedback on tasks as they go
• Greater class time – therefore their teachers can assist them more readily
• Using the ongoing assessment model means no huge assessment tasks all due at once

In weeks 2 and 3, study will be staffed for Year 12 students after 4.30 up until approximately 6pm if they wish additional support in the lead up to the HSC Trial Examinations.

YEAR 11 2020

Year 11 2020 have started selecting their subjects – a reminder this closes Friday at 5pm. Students can access a copy of the booklet via the Student Drive and the House Google classroom page.

Well done to Year 8 and 9 who have now completed their selections; the lines will now be constructed and students will be informed of their choices in Term 3. The lines and classes will be released through Compass.

HSC TRIAL EXAMINATION TIMETABLE

All exams have been entered onto Compass and students need to check this as well as their timetable each day. They are only required at school for their exams but may come in to study in the library.

CONTACTING STAFF MEMBERS

This is a reminder that all communication to staff must be through the College via email or calling the College directly. Staff are only required to respond during reasonable school hours and when they are able too.

 ATOMI

Students in Year 11 and 12 will be trialling the use of ATOMI in Term 3. ATOMI provides short videos and quizzes aligned to the context of numerous Stage 6 course. Many students in Year 11 and 12 will be provided with additional training this week.
