This Week’s Message

It is the second week of Term 2 and things are getting busy again as we work to provide the students with exciting experiences at school. Last week we spent Monday afternoon looking at a variety of assessment feedback. This Monday afternoon we will continue this conversation exploring how to use ‘Learning Continuums’ to help students complete work.

Last Friday the Y 10 students submitted part A and B of their personal projects to Managebac. All students have been told to email a copy of this to their supervisor by Monday.  This Weds after school the grading teams will meet for the first time to look at a sample of work and overview upcoming roles for the year.  All secondary school teachers are involved in this.

On Thursday the Y12 students had an EE day. This week, Thursday, November 2 is the final submission for EE.

 Below in the section "Important to know", you will find some frequently asked questions and where to find the GJS MYP Parent-Student Guide. The parent guide is being shared with parents through social media.

Also, look out for a Halloween bake sale on Tues.
