The term s calendar and indeed the full year calendar is on the website for your easy reference. I look forward to hearing positive feedback from students and parents about what the teacher is doing differently to support each student s learning.

This year, we hope to see evidence of improved pedagogy as a result of the professional development time teachers are spending on Wednesday mornings. Some of these sessions will continue in the Personal Learning Group programs which are run across both campuses. In the various induction/orientation activities, students have been exposed to strategies for how they might switch on their brain. We know that the adolescent brain is extremely pliable and flexible and that when we demand more of students, they can deliver. Apart from wearing the correct uniform, including hair colour and shoes and being on time for school every day and for every class, being ready for school means that home work has been done, and a mental headset is switched on to enable true engagement with their learning. Please support us by ensuring that your student is ready for school, in uniform and on time. Young and older adolescents thrive when they abide by regular routines and expectations. Included in this newsletter is the chart which articulates how parents may raise a concern in our school. Other matters can be referred to the Sub School Heads or the Learning Community Leaders directly. When there is an issue within a learning area, I ask that you contact the individual teacher first, and then if there are continuing issues, contact the Learning Area leader. We are also aware that the recent IT difficulties with the PAT testing caused concern and we apologise and hope to rectify this for the next testing session. We will advise on the date, time and location on the website shortly. In order to support parents, we will demonstrate the use of the Daymap diary later in term one. I am aware that some families struggled with electronic diary. Usage of the parent portal will be increased as the year progresses and will enable parents to communicate with individual teachers. Please notice that a guide to the Daymap Parent Portal is on the website.

Alternatively your student will be able to give you their password and you can logon on as them in Daymap. If you need a password to access Parent Portal please giving details of your student's name and ID number. I encourage you to visit the Daymap Parent Portal each night, which shows you the assignments set, due dates and work progress. I wish to emphasise that the move to electronic communication is pervasive in society and schools are no different. By the time you receive this newsletter, many parents and students would have experienced formal meetings and activities designed to cue you into the school s culture, routines, traditions and expectations. We try to minimise any confusion with restricting some areas to the year 8 students and to date we have been successful in our transition process. Physically, the middle campus consists of different levels which intersect with each other. The beginning of the year in a new environment is always a challenge, and in our school we understand, notice and support those who might be struggling. Welcome to the 2015 school year to all students and their families and especially to those new to our school. 1 T/A South Australian Government Schools CRICOS Provider No A ISSUE 1 FEBRUARY 2015 From the principal.
