Year 6 & Kinder Buddies

This week, our Year 6 students had a heartwarming visit with their Kinder buddies! The older students guided their younger friends through fun activities, shared stories, and built lasting friendships. It was a delightful experience for everyone involved, fostering a sense of community and mentorship within our school.

The Resilience Project

We are thrilled to announce the implementation of The Resilience Project as part of our PDH program. This initiative focuses on building emotional resilience, gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness in our students. Through engaging activities and lessons, we aim to equip our students with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and positivity.

The Resilience Project will be integrated into our curriculum through weekly sessions, where students will participate in activities designed to enhance their emotional well-being. We believe that fostering these skills is crucial for their overall development and success, both in and out of the classroom.

Here is a short video about the program: https://vimeo.com/833220866/7272b8bdff 

NAPLAN Withdrawals and Exceptions

As we approach the NAPLAN testing period, we would like to inform families about the options for withdrawals and exceptions. NAPLAN is an important assessment, but we understand that it may not be suitable for every student.

Withdrawals: Parents or guardians may choose to withdraw their child from NAPLAN testing for various reasons. If you are considering this option, please contact me to discuss your child's specific needs and the process involved.

Exceptions: Students on Personalised Plans may be eligible for exceptions from NAPLAN testing. I will be reaching out to families of these students next week to provide more information and discuss individual circumstances.

If you would like to book a time to speak to me, please email emma.grant@cg.catholic.edu.au
