Deputy Principal
Welcome back to the start of Semester 2, which much like the end of Semester 1, has allowed our College to celebrate through liturgy our connections to our Carmelite founders. It provided an opportunity for our community to recognise the contribution of a number of staff for their service as mentioned by Mr Lo Cascio. I would like to thank each of these staff members for their contribution to the College throughout their association, both in terms of supporting learning and also the role modelling that they provide for students and staff with respect to their care and concern for all members of the College.
CEDoW and the College seek your consent to use material created by your child/ren for the purpose of learning and education, and/or promoting the school, CEDoW or Catholic school education at state and national levels The date of consent is 18 August 2023. Please note that failure to consent will not allow students photos to appear in any publication including the College yearbook. Reminders emails will be sent out today.
As is often the case at the commencement of each term, there are some matters that students and carers need to be raised with respect to learning and wellbeing. The College has received some concerns about the manner that students are crossing the road in the afternoon when school finishes. Could all students and carers be reminded that there is no designated Pedestrian Crossing on Spitfire Drive or on St. Andrews Road and that students need to be vigilant when crossing each of these access routes and take the appropriate care when departing the College in the afternoon.
At the end of Term 2, students received their Semester 1 Academic Reports and Parent Teacher Student Interviews were conducted during Week 10. Students, in particular, are encouraged to look closely at their reports to identify areas of progress and improvement and use these to set goals for the second part of the year. This will be addressed in Year group and Pastoral classes over the coming weeks and it is important that reports are used as a valuable tool in enabling growth for all students and their learning. Should you have any questions regarding your son or daughter’s academic progress, please do not hesitate to contact their class teacher, Pastoral Advisor or Year Coordinator.
As always, thank you for your support and cooperation with your child’s learning and wellbeing and in particular, the smooth return to school over the past week.
Mr Simon Huntly
