Dear Parents,
With the end of Semester fast approaching our teaching staff have been busy writing student reports. For many of our foundation and new families our reporting program will be unfamiliar to you. With this in mind we would like to give you the following information to try and make it as easy to understand when you receive your child’s report via PAM.
The report sample above is for a student in Foundation. The red line indicates the curriculum's expected level of achievement for Semester 1 and where your child sits in relation to this. This is indicated with a C (Current Judgment).
The report is prepared by your child’s teacher and represents their professional opinion, informed by data from assessments. This report, as well as the Parent Teacher Interviews early next term on Monday and Tuesday 17th & 18th July are an important part of working together for the benefit of your child’s learning.
Please Note, Homegroup B interviews will take place on 14th and 15th August once Ms Rachel Braun returns from leave.
Booking information for interviews will be shared with you via PAM by Friday, please see the attached letter for instructions on how to book your interviews. These interviews will be 20 minutes in duration and students are expected to come to the interview to share their learning goals with you.
To access your child’s report please view the picture below, you will also receive a notification via SZAPP when these are available.
Today is the last day of Term for all students. On behalf of all the staff at St Angela of the Cross I would like to thank you all for your support over Semester one and wish you a safe and happy holiday with your families. Term 3 commences for all students on Tuesday 11th July
NAIDOC Week
This year NAIDOC celebrations will occur during the school holidays between 2-9 July. NAIDOC week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It is celebrated by all Australians and is a great opportunity to recognise and learn more about the history and culture of indigenous communities.
NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced back to the Aboriginal rights movement, when on Australia Day 1938, protestors marched through the streets of Sydney to highlight the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Today, it is a week-long celebration held in July that consists of a range of traditional and contemporary activities.
NAIDOC Week is an important event that helps build positive relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. It enables a deeper understanding of our differences and similarities. NAIDOC week is an opportunity for all Australians to eliminate bias and discrimination by reflecting and reconciling the wrongs of the past to facilitate hope and build a fairer future. Families are encouraged to join in and support young people in learning the significance of NAIDOC Week.
This Special Report offers suggestions on how families can celebrate NAIDOC Week together.

We encourage all parents to pack the below items as spares for your child.
