Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we released the Head’s List for Outstanding Academic Attitude and Effort for Term 2. By way of reminder, this list recognises consistency of student attitude and effort in class. Data is drawn directly from school reports. To be placed on the list, students need 97% or better of ticks for attitude and effort in the ‘consistently’ column on their school report. I am pleased to say that we have broken a record! Of 1200 students in the school, 529 are on the list for Term 2. This represent 44% of the entire school body, and is our highest ever percentage! So good! Congratulations to all students, who will be recognised in House assembles with a certificate.

I have had a number of queries from parents regarding access to Canvas and the Continuous Report. The School will soon be setting up some webinars to assist parents with their access to various features on Canvas and to answer questions. Standby for confirmed dates.

1. How to Get (And Keep) Your Child Motivated – 7 August at 6.30

Have a great week.
