From the Assistant Principal – Learning and Teaching
As we approach the end of the first half of the school year, we recognise the efforts of both students and staff at St. Patrick’s College. We have a robust learning community at the College that is led by dedicated teachers. This is every reason our school was named as a national finalist at the Australian Educators Awards this year.
Over the past several weeks teachers have been busy writing reports for our girls across all years and have been reflecting on their learning. We hope that the reports you will receive or have received in the mail are an informing snapshot of where your daughter sits in the learning continuum for each of her courses. It is recommended that each student thoughtfully measures the advice given to her through the report comments and set goals from her reflections for Semester 2.
Our Year 10 students have been engaged in some discerning relating to the decision-making involved in selecting courses that ignite their passion and talent for their individual patterns of study in their Year 11 and Year 12 academic years. There have been many considered and reflective conversations between students, parents and members of staff during our subject selection seminars, subject information evening and the upcoming consultation interviews. Soon our Year 8 girls will begin their electives selections for the Stage 5 courses.
