Coming in Term 2

Reports

Reports will be available to parents / carers through the portal from 1 May (second Friday back).

ALL (both interim and end of Semester) reports will only be available for you online. Therefore, I would suggest that you either print a hard copy or save the report as a PDF if you would like to refer to it during your Parent-Teacher Interviews.

Parent-Teacher Interviews (PTIs)

Our first Parent-Teacher Interviews for 2026 will take place when we return in Term two.

The purpose of these Interviews is to discuss the learning that has occurred in Term one and look at the academic successes and challenges that your child may have encountered so far this year.

Dates and Times: 

• Wednesday 20 May: 4.45pm to 8.00pm (online) 

• Thursday 22 May: 2pm to 8.00pm (face to face) 

Enjoying an Active and Restful Easter Break

As we approach the end of Term 1 and prepare for the Easter holidays, it is an important time for students to pause, rest and recharge after a busy start to the year. The break provides a valuable opportunity for families to reconnect, spend time outdoors, and support habits that positively influence both wellbeing and learning.

This year, one of our key focuses in the classroom has been increasing opportunities for students to be active within lessons. Research consistently shows that movement supports learning. Students who engage in physical activity throughout the school day are often more focused, engaged, and ready to learn.

Physical activity also plays a significant role in supporting young people’s mental health. Research highlighted by The Educator Online (links below) found that exercise can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in children and adolescents. The study reviewed hundreds of clinical trials involving more than 38,000 young people and found that regular movement can lead to meaningful improvements in mental wellbeing.

Encouragingly, the research also shows that physical activity does not need to be complicated. Simple activities such as walking, riding a bike, playing sport, visiting local parks, or spending time outdoors with family and friends can all have positive benefits.

The Easter holidays provide a perfect opportunity for students to find a healthy balance between rest, family time and activity. Time away from the routine of school, combined with opportunities to move and be outdoors, can help students return in Term 2 feeling refreshed, energised and ready to continue their learning.

On behalf of the Teaching and Learning team, I wish all families a safe, restful and active Easter break.
