Our Leadership Team is taking a fun and creative approach by donning dinosaur suits to make a dash for charity. This essential community care facility will benefit greatly from the financial contributions raised through our collective efforts, and I want to thank all our families who have contributed so generously to this cause.

In addition to this event, our student leaders have chosen to dedicate the proceeds from our primary disco, which will be held next Thursday, to this charity. Their decision to support the hospice reflects their commitment to making a positive impact in our community.

These efforts highlight the power of small acts of kindness. The collective contributions of our entire school community will make a significant difference. Small acts of kindness not only provide immediate help to those in need but also foster a sense of connection and empathy within our community.

When students engage in these acts of giving, they learn valuable lessons about compassion and social responsibility. These experiences can inspire them to continue making positive contributions throughout their lives, reinforcing the idea that even the smallest efforts can create meaningful change.

We’re incredibly proud of the generosity shown by our students and their dedication to helping others. Thank you to everyone involved for your continued support and compassion. Together, we are making a difference in our community.

As we approach the end of Term 3, we have started to see the students, particularly in Year 6, developing initiative in their leadership and service.

I have particularly noticed this when planning for events such as the regular Warm drink Wednesday and School dance. Students are not leaving details for staff to organise. They are approaching teachers with suggestions and ideas. They are creating posters for advertising without being asked.

They are starting to Lead with Others and heading to the Visionary component in Changing Your World.

Our younger students are developing their skills and continuing to discover and explore self- awareness. We encourage our students to ‘Lead’ themselves in making decisions that fit with family and school values. From carrying their own bags and putting their lunch in the fridge to managing behaviours and emotions. There is a lot to master in this piece of our Leadership For All.

I would like to thank the Year 6 cohort for seizing the opportunities to serve our school. They accepted the challenge of volunteering in many areas of our school. It has been wonderful to hear that they feel valued and their contributions have been worthwhile.

NAPLAN 2024
By now parents and carers of students in Year 3 and Year 5 should have received your child’s NAPLAN Individual Student Report. This gives a snapshot of your child’s achievement in NAPLAN testing.

While it is wonderful to celebrate successes, it is also important to note that this test is a reflection of your child’s performance on that particular day.  The Australian Curriculum and Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) recognises that as these tests are held once every 2 years, they are not a replacement for the extensive, ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance.

If you have any questions about your child’s progression academically, your child’s classroom teacher is best placed to provide feedback.  With parent/teacher interviews approaching, I would encourage you to discuss your child’s strengths and areas of development in alignment with the Australian Curriculum based on units of work undertaken throughout the year.

Attached is an information sheet for parents and carers to better understand how to interpret the NAPLAN individual report.  In 2023 there was change to NAPLAN standards and the timing of testing.  The introduction of new NAPLAN measurement scale, moving to adaptive online testing and bringing forward the date testing date means that results from 2024 cannot be directly compared with results from 2022. Information is outlined on how interpret the NAPLAN report.

At The Rockhampton Grammar School – Primary, we are very proud of our students’ achievements and continue to rank above state mean scores across all domains of NAPLAN.

PR1ME Core Books
This is a reminder that your child’s PR1ME Mathematics core books may have some pages that are not completed as our teachers incorporate formative assessment throughout their lessons. Students regularly show their working on mini whiteboards rather than on paper in their textbooks.  Formative assessment provides opportunities for our teachers to check for student understanding and provide timely feedback to students to help them correct misconceptions or improve.

Please be mindful if you are planning on having your child work through the blank pages over the holiday break that some lessons may not have been taught in the initial year of implementation at RGS as students familiarise themselves with the consistent metalanguage of the program. This is part of the roll out process for introducing our new format of the mathematical spiral curriculum.

Year 12 Confirmation Outcomes – IA2 The School has 26 subjects on offer this year. QCAA released the final subject outcome (Chemistry) late last week. As such, Year 12 students should see the outcomes in their QCAA Learning account. If you have any questions please contact me.

Year 12 Confirmation – IA3
The School recently uploaded all student results for IA3 to QCAA for review. As part of the confirmation process, RGS, like all Queensland schools is presently uploading the requested sample student assessment tasks. These papers will be reviewed by QCAA trained confirmers on Friday 31 August and Saturday 1 September.

Year 12 Assessment Mock Assessment Timetable
As a reminder, these assessment items commence on Monday 2 September and conclude Friday 13 September. The Mock provide important information for both students and staff in preparation for the external assessment tasks. The Mock tasks are also used to determine subject prize winners and the RGS Internal Dux award. Further details regarding the Mocks will be sent directly to Year 12 students, and parents/caregivers.

NAPLAN
The School’s Year 3, Year 5, Year 7 and Year 9 cohorts participated in NAPLAN online testing late in Term 1. Student reports have been posted and parents should have received their relevant copy now.  If you have any questions please reach out to the relevant staff (me for Years 7 and 9 and Kate Harris for Years 3 and 5).

General
As a reminder, if you have any questions regarding academics or your child’s progress please feel free to contact me on rcarter@rgs.qld.edu.au or 49360 609.

I am very proud of how they have developed in their organisational skills throughout the year.  It is important to remember that they are all at different stages of the journey and they will improve in these areas over time.  On the whole, their positive mindset towards these latest assessments has been wonderful. Please check the Term 3 Assessment schedule for all Assessment and Exams this week and note the key exams listed on the What’s On.

Important to note this week is the change of electives to our final rotation for the year.  A timely reminder to ensure students have all correct books and materials for these classes as well as their core classes.

This week you would have received an important email from me regarding how you can support your child with subject selection in the coming weeks.  Please red that email and take the time to explore the recommended reading on Parent Lounge for an in depth look at the subjects on offer for Year 8 2025.

The students have handled this load well, and it’s been encouraging to hear feedback from teachers letting me know that students are taking advantage of study, revision and tutorial opportunities.  While the end of this busy time is now in sight, I encourage students to maintain their focus, right until the end of the term, so they know that their results are truly reflective of the effort they’ve given this term.

Recently, Year 8 students and families received an email home with information about Year 9, 2025 Subject Selections, including information on elective and Mathematics offerings.  This week, all Year 8 students will have received an email with a link for them to complete their subject selections.  Once students submit their preferences, it automatically sends an email on to parents so that they can approve the selections.  Should you wish to alter preferences after submitting, you will be able to use the original link sent to students to go back in and resubmit.  If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact me.  For questions specific to electives, I have been encouraging students to speak with their teachers.

It was wonderful to celebrate students who achieved Academic Application Awards (Honours) at our Year Assembly today.  These students are recognised for their exceptionally high standards of application across all of their subjects in Semester One.  Congratulations to all students who received this award.  Over the coming week, I will also be distributing certificates for students who achieved Academic Application Awards.  Congratulations to all of our recipients!

In Form and Tutorial lessons, we are continuing our focus on Safe Relationships.  As we move towards the end of the term, and we find ourselves getting tired, and tempers fray, it is a timely reminder to be gentle in how we communicate with each other.  As always, if you have any concerns for your child, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Over the last week, the students have been actively involved in assessment with exams and assignments due. This will conclude this week, so it is important that all students remain focused and attentive in class and organised through study preparation each and every day. The final week of school will not be a week of down time with no formal learning as most classes will be beginning new work for the final term. Given that the final term is only short, it is imperative that teachers and students utilise all available time for learning. Therefore, it is essential that attendance at school remains a high priority right up until the holidays officially begin. Students have by now been emailed their classes and electives for next year. Unfortunately, some of our electives cannot be offered due to a lack of numbers choosing the subject, which has meant that students have received their reserve elective choice. Can I please ask once again that parents take the time to check with their children regarding their subject selection choices to ensure that there is consensus in regard to what subjects each student is electing to do in Year 10. Can I take the time to wish all our families a loving and safe holiday period and a special wish for our boarder families as they re-unite and get the opportunity to share special time together before we meet again in late September to complete the school year.

I want to commend the Year 10 students for their dedication, engagement, and management of an exceptionally busy term. This experience will undoubtedly benefit them as they move forward into their senior years.

SET Plan interviews are progressing steadily, with a projected completion by week 3 of Term 4 at the latest. I appreciate your commitment to this process, which is crucial to its success. I would encourage students yet to have their SET plan to arrange and book this as a priority either next week or in the first week of next

In recent weeks, our tutorial sessions have focused on helping the Year 10 students grasp the concept of ‘resilience’ and how this plays out in various scenarios in their everyday lives. All students have engaged well and demonstrated a good understanding of the various strategies we have worked through.

The week ahead is always and exciting time for Year 10 students as they prepare for departure on their respective OEP experiences. I wish each student a safe and enjoyable experience and look forward to sharing your stories when we are together again at the commencement of Term 4.

I wish all of our families a joyful and safe holiday break and look forward to seeing you all in Term 4.

Next term will see the commencement of unit three work for our students – this will be the formal start of year 12 content. Please remind your children of the importance to study and take the work seriously.

Next term the Year 11s will be attending Ritamada for their leadership days, information has been sent out regarding this. The cohort will work in smaller teams but also share sessions as a whole cohort. Students will be working on problem solving activities, team initiatives and have information sessions. In addition to utilising communication and negotiation skills many of the tasks are physical and outdoor in nature. Each activity will be supervised and pitched at a level to offer a solid challenge to enhance the opportunity for individual and team growth and leadership. RGS and Ritamada have an inclusive and ‘Challenge by Choice’ philosophy. Please ensure your child has everything they need for the day, sun safety is paramount! If your child is not attending the leadership days, they will be required to attend certificate courses or work experience.

This term and next, the Year 11s will be working on community service initiatives. As a cohort, we will be supporting Share the Dignity, through their annual #ItsInTheBag campaign. #ItsInTheBag is Share the Dignity's annual event where every day Australians are encouraged to put together bags filled with essential items, to donate to someone in need for Christmas. Items that are suitable for donation can be found below.

Remember, this Friday is a student free day for both Secondary and Primary school. Please contact me if there is anything I can assist with.

Students have been actively working towards Mocks and Externals, finishing of Certificates and finalising Applied subject assessment, due early Term 4. I have felt a noticeable pressure lift off their collective shoulders and it is wonderful to start seeing their excitement and apprehension of what lies in store for them in just a few short months.

The last couple of weeks continued to be busy with 50 year 12 ladies ‘Rockin’ the Chop’, raising over $25000 for cancer research and donating metres of hair in this year’s Ponytail Project. In addition to the funds raised by these ladies, Seniors were able to wear their jerseys for a gold coin donation and a bake sale was run. All proceeds going towards the Cancer Council. Times such as this reflect the camaraderie and spirit that the School community undoubtedly has.

Looking ahead, the majority of Year 12’s have at least one mock exam in the upcoming exam block, commencing on Monday 2nd September and concluding on Friday 13th September. This is an essential opportunity for students to gain an understanding of the expectations and procedures for examinations over the External Exam period as well as obtain crucial feedback on the progress of their study. I sent an email out recently to all students and parents containing information regarding the mock exam period. Please ensure that your student has read this email and, if there are any questions, to see me as soon as possible. Just a reminder that information regarding mocks is available on the Leadership Teams class Onenote. This includes the mock exam boarder leave form which must be completed by all boarders intending on taking leave over the mock exam block.

Students will also be directed to complete their Student Colours nomination forms in the near future. Further information regarding this will be provided to students shortly.

A reminder below of the upcoming events and presenters that we have during the final weeks of Year 12:
* Bolsover Health Presentation – Wednesday 28th August
* Leadership Colours Ceremony rehearsal – Wednesday 16th October
* Headmasters lunch – Wednesday 16th October
* Mocktails – Thursday 17th October

It Takes a Spark STEM Conference, Brisbane
August 30, 2024

Most conferences currently being offered on STEM, STEAM and Entrepreneurship tend to be targeted towards teachers and involve a series of speakers and the occasional mini-workshops. This conference is designed to be different. This conference is designed by students and teachers for students and teachers.

The intent of the It Takes a Spark STEM Conference is to bring together Students (Year 4 to 10) and Teachers to connect with inspiring industry role models, share their current school based activities and projects using an authentic sharing and experiential model, create networks of teachers and student teams, and solve social justice design challenges.

The participation of the students is as important as teachers as our intent is to ignite, empower and nurture both to be leaders of STEM and Entrepreneurship within their schools. This is a conference designed and led by students and teachers for students and teachers.

The workshops and social justice design challenges are all hands-on so students and teachers will experience first-hand what it is like to be part of great STEM and entrepreneurial learning. This will spark new ideas about curriculum and pedagogy.
