From the Principal's Desk
Published by Rochedale State SchoolFROM THE PRINCIPAL
From today, Monday 7 March, we’re allowed to conduct assemblies, excursions and school camps. Parents and visitors are welcome back onsite, we are so excited to be returning to normal and to welcome all parents back onsite.
On Wednesday, 2.30pm we’ll have a short assembly for our Student of the Month awards. Parents are welcome to join us. There is no need to check in at the office if you are attending parade.
On Friday 11 March 9.00am, we have our Student Leader Induction Assembly. All parents and community members are welcome to join us.
Please remember - anyone who is working or volunteering at a school site must be fully vaccinated for COVID 19. All volunteers and helpers are required to sign in at the office and show proof of vaccination.
On Thursday, we again faced a situation where the messaging to schools and parents was not clear. I extend my deep appreciation to the Rochedale staff for their management of a difficult situation. I also thank parents and carers for their patience and quick response to the situation.
I’m grateful for the positive responses from students, parents, and staff to the changes to our teaching and learning over the past week. This positivity is so important in what are extraordinary times.
Principal / Parent Sessions
Now that we can have all parents on school grounds I’d like to offer an opportunity for parents to meet with me on Tuesday 15 March, 2.20pm in RPAC so I can get to know parents and for you to tell me what’s working well and what we can do better.
I’ll run a principal / parent session for working parents on Tuesday 22 March, 6pm in the staffroom.
On Tuesday 29 March 2.00pm in RPAC, I’d like to meet with parents of students with a disability to listen to your feedback.
Teaching and Learning
Over the last week, year levels and specialists have been released to work with the Leadership Team on their planning for Unit of Inquiry 2, UOI2.
During the planning session, teachers worked with the Australian Curriculum, developed marking guides and task sheets for UOI2.
Teachers, including specialists, have also engaged in Data Conversations, examining the 2021 semester 2 A-E achievement of students in their year levels/learning area.
