Curriculum Term 2 Outlines

An outline of what your child will be learning this term, along with important dates will be sent home to parents this week. Teachers prepare and send home these documents each term to ensure parents are aware of the curriculum for the term. Please see your child’s teacher if you have any queries or questions.

Naplan

Naplan online assessments will take place next week for year 3 and year 5 students. The students have been well prepared, practising the assessment format online and completing tasks in certain timeframes. While Naplan gives both parents and school an indication of student achievement, this is only one form of assessment. Teachers use multiple assessments, student work samples, observations to make a balanced judgement of student achievement.

Rapid Antigen Test Kits

Additional test kits have been delivered to the school. Kits will be available to be picked up afterschool on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 May from out the front of the school office. Please ensure that students continue to test twice a week.

Professional Learning- Lynda offsite

Next week I will be offsite engaging in professional learning with the South East Principal Network Zone. Our work will focus on school culture and the aspects of this that are important to our local context. In my absence Carmel Donlon will be delegated authority., supported by Maree Hills and Megan Moore.  Please do hesitate to contact Carmel. carmel.donlon@scmoorabbin.catholic.edu.au

Happy Mother’s Day

Wishing all our mums, grandmothers, special friends a very happy day on Sunday 8 May. It is important to acknowledge those who we love and care for us. We pray for our mums, grandmothers and motherly figures who are no longer with us or unable to be with us, that God will keep them in his tender care.

A Mother's Love

There are times when only a mother's love

Can understand our tears,

Can soothe our disappoints

And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a mother's love

Can share the joy we feel

When something we've dreamed about

Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a mother's faith

Can help us on life's way

And inspire in us the confidence

We need from day to day.

For a mother's heart and a mother's faith

And a mother's steadfast love

Were fashioned by the angels

And sent from God above.
