Learning Attributes Yr 7/8 Rotation Subjects – Published Week 6

A reminder that in 2024, Shalom College has changed the way we give feedback on ‘learning attributes’ of our students to parents. Please note that the upcoming End-of-Semester Report cards will no longer show Application and Behaviour as a result.

Instead, teachers have been giving feedback through Sia on the learning behaviours of students in each of their classes, as well as PC classes. These learning attributes will be published throughout Week 6 in Term 4 for the Yr7/8 rotation subjects that occur in this term only. All other subjects have published the learning attributes throughout the year and are updating them as necessary.

Yr 11 Exam Block – 20 November – 22 November

Yr 11 students will participate in an exam block from Wednesday 20 - Friday 22 November. Students participating in this exam block will begin Unit 3 assessment. This assessment is summative and as such will contribute towards the ATAR score. The Exam Timetable for this exam block is attached. Students need only attend school for the exams that they are sitting in this period.

During the exam block, students not involved in exams are expected to be involved in home study. Students who are behind in their schoolwork may also be required to attend school to complete outstanding work. If this is required, these arrangements will be communicated by individual class teachers.

Please remember that normal school rules regarding uniform and behaviour continue through the exam block.

We wish our students all the best with their studies.

Year 10 End of Semester Two Examinations – 20 November – 22 November

Yr 10 students will participate in an exam block from Wednesday 20 - Friday 22 November. All students are expected to be at school for the whole day on Wednesday 20 November.
