With Week 3 finished (but really Week 1), we are still settling in and learning routines and expectations. Part of this settling in is learning to exist and learn in and around a bigger group of students.

Examples: mainly, layer, escape IT Agreements Thank you so much for attending to this. We only have a few left outstanding. Uniform   Has been good so far.

Well it’s nice to be back face to face with the students. This week is really what a normal week one would be like as we sort through the classroom routines, setups and expectations. With this in ind, there are just a couple of things to tell/remind you about. IT Agreements Please have students return these ASAP. If you need a new form, just let us know.  Communication with us Please use the email senior_unit@ilsg.sa.edu.au to contact us. This email reaches both teachers and allows us to both be on top of any information that we need. Homework This week there is no spelling homework as we are training the students up on the weekly expectations in class. We do expect students to get into Mathletics and get 1000  points as well as doing some daily reading. Some students will be taking the opportunity to complete a few of last weeks tasks at home this week. Weekly Timetable Click on the image to get a clear version.
