Principal’s Report
Dear Parents/Guardians
We hope our families and students had a restful holiday and are ready for the busy term ahead. As Term 3 begins, the days grow a little longer and hopefully warmer. Our school calendar, as always, is full of programs and extracurricular activities that promote extension opportunities, support, and connection to our community. You can find the Term 3 calendar at https://riversidehigh.education.tas.edu.au/.
Year 10 Exams
Year 10 exams were held this week. Thank you to the families who supported their child’s study and commitment to doing their very best. Please note that these exams are not weighted but serve as an additional piece of evidence to help teachers make balanced judgments about students’ academic progress at the end of the year. The exam process also helps prepare students for college by teaching valuable skills in exam study and preparation. Exam results will be shared during Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews in Term 3.
Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews
In Term 3, we encourage all students to attend the Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews. These interviews provide an opportunity for teachers to discuss students’ strengths and areas for improvement. It is especially beneficial for students to be present to hear the feedback and contribute to the conversation about their progress.
