What's Happening at Holy Rosary

Week 10, Term 3 2020

This week marks the end of the most remarkable Term 3 in my memory. Well done to everyone who has battled through the challenges presented. A huge thanks to parents and grandparents for supporting the remote learning programs and to the children who have done their best to complete work at home, we know it hasn't been easy. I'd also like to thank and acknowledge the work of our staff, for their work in communicating, planning and implementing the curriculum and especially for continuing to provide connection to our school. For those on site, a reminder that school concludes at 2.15pm as per our normal end of Term procedure.

Unfortunately 'Remote Learning' will continue in week 1 of Term 4. However our staff will be participating in Religious Education professional development on Monday 5th October so the children will only have remote learning opportunities for 4 days. Our survey will be released in the second week of the holidays, so look out for it if you require your children to be on site for supervision.

All children in grade Foundation to Grade 6 will be back to school and face to face teaching on Monday 12th October.

Term 4 will be filled with challenges, however we are very much looking forward to returning to some form of structure at school. Our teachers will be focussing heavily on the Literacy, Numeracy and Religious education curriculums as well as the social emotional learning that we have missed so much of this year. Again we await direction regarding reports and assessment, however we will be holding Learning conversations during Term 4 which were a great success this Term.

We look forward to resuming our Foundation 2021 interviews and meeting with parents and children ready to begin the primary school journey with us next year. We will be in contact with families who will need to book a new meeting time.

Finally, all the best to everyone for your fantastic support and we say thanks, we look forward to a more normal Term 4 - one that will be both COVIDSafe and educational.
