Parent Teacher Student Partnership Meeting
Thank you to all the parents that met with staff during last Thursday’s PTSPM. These meetings provide feedback on the progress of students they also provide an opportunity for our families to make connections with their child’s teachers.
Assessment Period
The end of Term 2 is particularly busy time at secondary schools. During this week and next week the students at the Glenroy Campus may see an increase in the assessment tasks and tests for their subject. This is due to Semester 1 finishing on June 10, two weeks before the end of Term. Upcoming due work can be found on MyPenola under the due work section.
