Our blog post is related to 'A Greyhound of a Girl' because we imagined what the front page of the newspaper would have looked like the day after Tansey walked into the hospital and scared everyone.

Congratulations to 19p who received 89% in their Class Dojo report this term. The students have been excelling at their English classwork and homework. We have been doing a lot of group work together and 19p have proved they are well able for it! 

The girls have rocked in the last couple of months! Student of the Month for February goes to Karolina and Student of the Month for March goes to Buky. I would also like to give a special mention to Lija, who has worked very hard this term. Joseph and Dylan B have done a great job of holding it all together for the boys this term. Well done lads.

Behaviour Report 19e - Term 4

2/4/2012

0 Comments

Unfortunately we did not meet our target of 72% for our special treat at the end of this term. The main culprit has been a failure to complete the homework. This is very disappointing, as 19e demonstrated earlier in this term that they are able to do their homework to a very high standard. 

If any of you think that you have any suggestions or ideas that could improve the level of homework, please leave a comment. 

19e are a class of many talents. Some students excel at reading while others are a whizz on the computer. Our classmate, Dylan, moved to another class this term and we miss him a lot. He always brought up our class points! Several students stood out this term: Emma and Jordan always keep us on our toes with their excellent and insightful questions; Nathan and Sandra displayed their great reading ability; Katy's enthusiasm and sunny demeanor have been positively infectious!  

However two students stood out more than others: Congratulations to Jack, who receives the Student of the Month award for February. Student of the Month for March goes to Molly.Excellent work guys.
