Dear families and carers,
On Tuesday evening, we gathered as a faith community to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with our Year 6 students. Fr Richard led the celebration and spoke beautifully about the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, strengthen us, and lead us in our daily lives.
It was a joyful and reverent occasion, marking a significant milestone in the faith journey of our students. Each candidate was supported by their sponsor and surrounded by the love and prayers of their family, friends, teachers, and parish community.
Thank you to Fr Richard, Fr James, Ms Capper and Year 6 teachers in preparing the students so beautifully for this special sacrament.
Celebrating Learning at Holy Trinity
It has been wonderful to welcome so many families into our school this week for our learning conferences. These conversations are a meaningful way to continue to strengthen the relationship between school and home, and we thank you for your time and support.
Students in Years 3–6 have confidently and thoughtfully shared their learning journey, celebrating their progress and identifying clear next steps for growth. It is a time of both celebration and reflection, acknowledging how far we’ve come and setting our sights on where we’re heading next.
For our junior primary students, these conferences have been a joyful opportunity for teachers and parents to celebrate the growth we have witnessed in our learners.
At Holy Trinity, we view assessment as an essential and ongoing part of learning. Our approach to assessment is guided by the following principles:
-
Holistic and Ongoing: Assessment is not a one-off event but a continuous process that supports teaching and learning every day.
-
Formative and Summative: We use both ongoing feedback (formative assessment) and culminating tasks (summative assessment) to build a full picture of student learning.
-
Student-Centered: Students are actively involved in reflecting on their learning and setting goals to support their next steps.
-
A Variety of Strategies: We use a wide range of tools and methods to capture each child’s progress and to cater for individual needs.
-
Growth-Focused: Our focus is on helping students understand where they are in their learning, where they need to be, and how to get there.
Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s learning journey. We are proud of all that our students have achieved, and we’re excited for what lies ahead. Our Semester One reports will be available in COMPASS next Wednesday.
