Thank you to our Year 9 students and their families who attended the 新澳门六合彩开奖网 in the City Showcase. It is always a wonderful evening enjoyed by students and parents alike as the students share their experiences in the city during Horizons Week. Thank you to Claire Al-Noah, Head of The Arts and Technology, and all our teachers from The Arts and Technology faculty for arranging a thoughtful and engaging week for our students. Congratulations to all Year 9 students for the impressive presentations, a great culmination of many weeks of learning.
Our annual Careers Showcase, presented by the 新澳门六合彩开奖网 Alumnae Association, will be held at the College on Thursday, 9 June. The popularity of the event is testament to the calibre of speakers we engage to discuss and share their career experiences and post-school pathways. It is always a privilege and a pleasure to hear from our alumnae, who have successfully navigated a path to a meaningful career in a variety of fields; they often attribute their success to the high standard of their Dominican Education at 新澳门六合彩开奖网. The event is designed to help students broaden their knowledge and understanding of a wide range of careers that may be of potential interest.

This week, all students commence their learning reflection in each subject based on the Classroom Learning Indicators. As students complete each self-reflection, parents will receive an email notification and may view the responses by clicking on the link.
The Semester Report provides feedback on the five specific Classroom Learning Indicators and parents and students will be able to see if there has been any progress or consolidation in this area. It also includes a statement of results of all assessment tasks and at Years 7 to 11, an overall percentage score, taking into consideration the individual weightings for each task. If a percentage score is not given, a letter grade is used, such as NS (a school sanctioned absence and no penalty) or NA (not assessed and a score of zero). At Year 12, it will consist of S (Satisfactory) or N (Not Satisfactory) for each assessment task.
Semester reports will not have teacher comments, as the feedback has been throughout the semester and targeted to the assessment task.
Friday, 17 June will be the last day of Term 2 for students. Teaching staff will participate in a Staff Week until 24 June, dedicated to the marking of examinations, preparation of reports and Professional Learning.
Semester 2 / Term 3 commences on Monday, 11 July.
