Family Dance Night – THIS THURSDAY!

This Thursday evening, we will host our Family Dance Night at Dayboro SS. What a wonderful way to allow our students to showcase their learning of Dance through the Dance Fever program this term. Dance makes up one of the five subjects in The Arts curriculum.

We look forward to seeing the students have a wonderful time starting with the disco and dinner, and then settling into their performances from 6:30pm. Please ensure that you pre-order your family’s dinner requirements via the order form sent through last week (and also attached to this newsletter) by Tuesday afternoon.

A reminder that we will ask for the parents of the students performing ONLY to enter the hall when that Year level is showing off their dance moves – this will limit the number of adults in that space. Please ensure that you are wearing a mask if you enter the hall.

Thanks for your consideration and we look forward to a fabulous night!

Teachers collaboration for moderation

Last Friday our staff worked hard to make great use of the student free day. The teachers worked with Mt Samson teachers to moderate work samples. Class Teachers took the opportunity to moderate their Unit 4 writing samples while our specialist teachers moderated in their subject specific areas. What a great opportunity to collaborate and dig deep into the curriculum expectations for our students. There was also time for the teachers to discuss teaching strategies and best practice around teaching.

Parent Teacher Conferences

It has been wonderful to see that many parents have booked in or already engaged in their Parent Teacher Conference. What a wonderful way to show your child that their learning is so important to you. The SOB’s booking platform has now closed to allow our teachers to prepare for their schedule. If you still need to book in a time, you will need to email your child’s class teacher, just being mindful they are working extended hours at the moment to facilitate the conferences.

Thank you to our amazing teachers for ensuring they are available to share your child’s learning journey with you. It will also be great to understand your child’s next steps to improve their learning in semester 2.

Have a great week!
