St Anne's Catholic College - Temora eNewsletter

Dear St Anne's Community,

I was very impressed with the students and their outfits for Melbourne Cup. It was nice to have a bit of fun, seeing that lots of events have been cancelled due to COVID. Congratulations to all of the best dressed boys and girls.

I am looking forward to both the Kindergarten and Year 7 orientation programs starting next week. A big welcome to all of the students.

Next year we will be offering a certificate 1 in construction for Year 9/10 students. We are very excited about this opportunity.

We are at the midway point of the term and starting to plan for end of year events and beyond. The latest roadmap has been released that outlines some easing of restrictions. We will communicate more information about end of year presentation events in the coming weeks.

Congratulations to our First Eucharist students in Year 4. We will continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

Take care,

Grant

Kinder Literacy

Mrs Hughes is very impressed with Kindergarten and their efforts in Literacy. Kinder have been working really hard during their daily Initialit lessons and their reading, writing and spelling results have been fantastic! We are also making our own "Stick man" as our storybook for the past two weeks has been "Stick Man"

Kinder Wellbeing Session

Kindergarten have been lucky enough to have the support of Kerrie Murphy this year who is a Speech Pathologist. Kerrie has been working with individual students each Tuesday; however this week Kerrie joined the whole class for a wellbeing session. Kinder made "calming jars" using water, glitter and food colouring. We all had a great time and felt very calm afterwards!

Maths Report

Students have been working hard in Maths with some amazing growth being made.

Year 7 & 8 Maths

Our Year 7&8 students are continuing with our Maths Pathway Program. Students are really starting to see the benefit of revising work, achieving outstanding individual growth. The curriculum grid enables students to see where they have been, where they are and where they are going which allows for specific goals to be set each fortnight. Special mention to Evie West and Milly Van Egmond who achieved an amazing 400% growth in the last cycle!!!

Year 9 Maths

The Year 9 5.3 Maths class has been a pilot class for HITP (High Impact teaching practice) this year. Students have really taken to the program and every students growth over the past 12 months has been amazing. The students should be so proud, as we are, of all their hard work.

Year 10 Maths

The Year 10 students have been working hard on completing their final unit before preparing for their exams in Week 7 which they are all really looking forward to?.

Yr 10 are doing the final flight of their air powered rockets. They have conducted a series of tests of the burst disks, to power the rocket, as well as various rocket designs to gain maximum height.

Who will end up reaching the greatest height?

Stay tuned!
