Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we opened up the Conferences in Compass for parents to select a time for the Goal Setting Conversation with their child and teacher. The conversation times are particular to a teacher and are spaced out over the next few weeks. All families are required to attend and if this is not possible to physically come to the school, we encourage you to book a time online via Compass and then to contact your child's teacher to request an online meeting. 

Goal Setting Conversations in Term 1 are a chance to review the goals drafted by the teacher and student in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. During the 15 minute conversations, you may review the evidence that led to the setting of the goal and discuss the strategies that the student will commit to for the next term in order to achieve their goal. The feedback from the teacher about how the student went is recorded in Compass during Term 2 and then the goal and the feedback is absorbed into the Semester 1 Student Report. We look forward to welcoming you to these conversations over the next few weeks.

Enrolments are open for Kinder 2025!

The Catholic Schools Office have a new enrolment policy and procedure in place for the 2024 school year. Along with changes to the way our enrolment process happens, there are also changes to the order of acceptance for students into our primary and high schools. Enrolments opened on the 1st March for Kinder 2025 and will close on May 24. Following this period, the first round offers will be made. If you know anyone planning to enrol to Holy Name in 2025, please encourage them to pick up an enrolment package as soon as possible and to be sure to return it prior to the closing date. 

Wishing you a wonderful fortnight.
