Term 2, Week 4

So Sorry I thought this was published today ....(my bad)

As I wrote on the Hub Homepage. We have had an agreement with the students about homework this week due to the extra homework the completed in the lead-up to NAPLAN.

There is no 'Must Do' expectations this week or reward for completion.

We have spoken about the general homework expectations and have agreed tat reading and LSCWC are a weekly part of school work and will be completed anyway.

Studyladder and Skoolbo are available for any student wishing to do extra.

Also any student wishing to take advantage of a light week may want to star/continue their Be Active progress and update their reading log.

Have a great week!
