CONTAINERS FOR CHANGE

Families, you're invited to get behind the College's 'Containers for Change' to support Sr Cecilia's work in the Woorabinda Ministry. During the month of Rockhampton bring in your aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles with the 10c mark displayed and together we can make a positive impact.  Students can deposit in the blue bins around the college, alternatively please deliver to the Bus Shed in the Derby Street.

SEMESTER 2 ACER TESTING

Years 7-10 students will participate in ACER testing in Week 3 as per the schedule below.

PAT data is very valuable to teachers in identifying students’ strengths and weaknesses in Maths and Reading. It is important all students do their best to give accurate data. This round of testing can also provide insight into students’ growth in Maths and Reading for the academic year.

Test results will be reported to families on students’ Semester 2 report card.

In other lessons on these days, learning will occur as per students’ regular timetables.

Students will need to bring their calculator, laptop and pencil case to their allocated test venue.
