WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 15, Term Two, Week Eight, 19 June 2020
Dear ACG Sunderland Community We have just concluded the second to last week for term two; I must say how truly proud I am of the entire student body, as the majority of the school reviews and reflects on the recent examination process and results. The results I am being made aware of are pleasing, as most students were able too express their efforts over the lockdown period and have generated some very good grades. There are students, however, who have not produced the grades they are capable of – for a number of reasons. Teaching staff and Deans will be speaking with these students personally, to put strategies in place to improve these current outcomes. These may include: attending the holiday tutorials, peer tutoring, afterschool tutorials, one on one sessions with staff, making use of the Library after school, etc. Most students did incredibly well during the lockdown period, but some did find the process very challenging, losing some momentum along the way. I encourage parents to speak with teaching staff if this is your perception. As expressed earlier, due to the examinations running later this term, reports will be available on Friday 31 July, with Parent/Teacher Interviews taking place on the Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 August. We will be hosting our annual Options Evening, taking place on the Thursday 13 August. This is an opportunity for parents in the College, but Primary parents are also welcome to attend the presentation, covering Option choices, University Entrance and discussions with subject experts too. Senior students do also have opportunity to speak with visiting universities’/polytechnics on Friday afternoons. I understand, due to lockdown, these will continue into Term Three also.
