Welcome to Week 5!
Welcome to Week 5 in Aspire!
After a crazy week of weather last week, there seems to be a more settled outlook to the weather this week! Just in time for our Senior Swimming Sports on WEDNESDAY at 10am sharp.
REMINDER - Non-championship events are one length. Championship events are of two lengths, and only these swimmers will be considered for the Pegasus Zone Event in March. ALL NON-CHAMPIONSHIP and CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS ARE TIMED HEATS, therefore there are no finals.
MINT PRESENTATIONS -
Students who are interested in participating in MINT this year, need to have their speeches ready to present to the existing MINT team on THURSDAY at 1:30pm. This is the only time allocated for these presentations, so students will need to prioritise this if they are keen.
YEAR 8 LEADERS -
Both Vikki and I are in the process of viewing all of the job applications that our Year 8's submitted last week. The sharing of this will form part of our assembly this week on Friday!
YEAR 8 CAMP FORMS -
Please ensure these come back to us ASAP - they were given out after the Year 8 Speech afternoon on Friday 16 February. We also added this as a link in our last communication for those of you who were not able to make the speech afternoon. ALL CHILDREN IN YEAR 8 NEED TO RETURN THIS FORM.
FROM OUR PTA -
SEESAW -
There were a small number of families who were not joined up to their children's accounts at the beginning of the year. You will have received an email, prompting you how to join, back in week 2. Please ensure you do this, as Seesaw is one of our assessment reporting tools. This will continue to grow as one of our means of reporting to you about your child's progress.
Last week, our first formal assessment was posted, please take the time to read both your child's reflection, and the teacher comment that follows that.
