31st October, 2017 Reflection 'I am the Resurrection and the Life, says the Lord. Whoever believes in me, even though he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will not die forever.' O God, glory of the faithful and life of the just, by the Death and Resurrection of whose Son we have been redeemed, look mercifully on your departed servants, that, just as they professed the mystery of our resurrection, so they may merit to receive the joys of eternal happiness. AMEN (All Saints Day Nov 1, All Souls Day Nov 2)
Dear Parents and Students, VCE Exams Good luck to all VCE students on their exams starting tomorrow with English. Its been a big build up to the exams so lets hope any anxiety about performance works in a positive way on the day. Staff Professional Learning Day On Monday 23rd October teachers and student support officers participated in a professional learning day led by Glen Pearsal. Glen is a dynamic presenter whose passion is to create engaging and effective classroom practice. He is a Board Member of VCAA and a successful author with many publications in print. Glen works extensively throughout Australia as an educational consultant and presenter specialising in classroom management, engagement and workload reduction for teachers. During the day, Glen focused on techniques that may be used in a classroom to make learning more effective and engaging. New methods of running a revision lesson, questioning techniques that see all students respond, an exploration of making a rubric more relevant to students and simple classroom tips and tricks were demonstrated. It was a learning rich day for all involved and no doubt your students would have experienced some of this learning in their classes during this past week. Mark Sheehan Principal
