Dear
Parents/Caregivers
Welcome
back from the holidays! We hope you and your family had a safe and restful
holiday. We would like to extend a
special welcome to any new families and students.
This
year, we, Miss Sarah Field and Mrs Mandy Dencher, will be teaching the Year Six
classes (6 Green and 6 Maroon, respectively).
We are committed to working together to develop a consistent approach
across the two classes. This consistency
will include homework, term work and overall expectations for Year Six
students.
Homework
All Year Six students will be given the same homework. It has been designed in a way that students should be able to complete tasks independently. The tasks selected are based on basic skills and knowledge that the teachers feel are the most important. The homework will include a variety of spelling words, times tables and mathematics problems. Therefore this style of homework will consolidate the work from the classroom whilst developing time management skills and responsibility.

Learning
for Term One
This term students will be participating in two major units of work. Firstly, there will be an integrated English and History unit. The students will be investigating key figures who contributed to Australian Federation. The students will choose one key figure to research and write an information report about. The second unit is a Religion and Geography unit where students will explore community contributions, with a large focus on the Caritas appeal. The students will investigate how global population, wealth and health are unevenly distributed.

Uniform
Students in Year Six are expected to wear their sports uniform on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Monday, Thursday and Wednesday students are expected to wear their day uniform. As the students in Year Six are leaders of the school, we expect students to be in correct school uniform as outlined in the student handbook. If a student is not able to wear the correct uniform they are expected to have a note of explanation from home.

We are
committed to developing strong working partnerships with you, the parents and
families of our students, and therefore encourage open communication between
school and home. We can be contacted via
email or by telephoning or visiting the school.
Our email addresses are:
Mandy Dencher (Six Maroon) mandy.bland@bne.catholic.edu.au
Mandy Dencher (Six Maroon) mandy.bland@bne.catholic.edu.au
We want
to be readily available and try to check our email regularly, but sometimes
schools are very busy. Therefore if you
have an urgent issue, message or concern that you wish to discuss, it is best
to make an appointment with us first via telephone.
We are
extremely excited about this year and we have already discovered that this
group of students are a bright and warm group of students. We look forward to working with you this year
and helping your child have a successful year.
Yours
sincerely,
Sarah
