Deputy Principal's Message

Dear Parents/Guardians and Friends,

I sincerely hope you had a great start to the year here at Sirius CollegeEastmeadows. Term 1 is always so busy for students, teachers and families. Getting to know one another, establishing school routines and procedures, making new friends…the list goes on. The most significant one of them is a sense of ‘belonging’.

Events

What better way to celebrate our unity, belonging, inclusiveness and diversity, but to havegreat Harmony Day and multi-cultural week celebrations. Harmony Day this year was a huge success! Our events committee staff members worked diligently to organise a fantastic week. Students took pride in their efforts, team work, art work and most importantly, showing cohesion and tolerance to one another.

Thank you also to the staff and families working together with the Primary Parents Club and Fundraising Committee. This term we have had much success bringing the community together during the Twilight Cinema night, which was enjoyed by all. A special thanks also to our SRC staff and students, who have been actively promoting and assisting with events and fundraising efforts.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent Teacher Interviews will be held in Term 2, Week 3. This will provide parents protected time to talk to staff about their child’s progress. A letter will be sent out prior to the holidays, in order for parents/guardians to book their interview times online.

School Holidays

It is imperative for our students to maintain a sensible balance between studying, resting and recreation over the school holiday break. While we do wish for our students to have a commitment to their studies, there is a need to readjust some of the thinking that ‘doing more work produces better outcomes’. We need to remember that too much work, without adequate rest, becomes counter-productive. So allow your child to have a good balance over the break, so they come back with a relaxed mindset ready for Term 2

Stay safe and enjoy the break.
