Years 5 and 6 Program Leader | Mr Brendan Ganley

Today is the end of an extraordinary term. Terrace is such a busy environment and all students will now finish knowing the results of putting in all the work possible to achieve their goals. The preparation weeks have taken place and now the application week has concluded. With Term 4 being so short, being organised in the first week of term will be crucial to success during the final term. 

Assessment will begin very early in Term 4, and preparation for this is important. Assessment calendars will be provided on the first day, which gives each student guidance to plan for the short term.

Even though reports will not come out until after the holidays, the achievements of the term should be reflected on. The results now can’t change, but there could be reflection if the effort throughout the term was the best possible. If we cannot reflect on the past, there is little chance the future can be improved.

Today in the Campbell Centre, the Annual Science Fair took place. It was the culmination of a term’s work in Science for our Years 5 and 6 students. Days like today are valuable to pursue the challenges of science by engaging in exercises that involve prediction and discovery. Well done to our award winners on the day for your thoroughness and willingness to delve into the question of WHY?

A very happy holiday to all families. Wishing you a safe break with your family and may we see you re-energised for Term 4.
