Celebrations

As we start this week back with everyone at school, the Grade 9 teaching team would like to congratulate our students on their performance over the last 6 weeks of online learning. We have been very proud of the mature outlook most of our students took towards their studies and have been pleasantly surprised at how well everyone (including our teachers) adapted to the online platform. At times we had difficulty but we showed resilience and overcame most of the obstacles that were thrown in our path. Our Grade assemblies were well attended and students have had the opportunity to represent their class teacher in our regular competition each week.

Our overall points tally for these competitions are as follows:   

9A: 13 points

9B: 10 points

9C: 9 points

9D: 10 points

9E: 41 points

Congratulations to 9E for smashing the competition in the last hurdle. Mr Wood is very proud.

With four weeks of learning left in Term 2 the following current topics are being studied in our core classes:

HPE is focussing on World Games and Food and Nutrition, English is undertaking persuasive writing, HaSS is studying Slavery, Mathematics is delving in to a Measurement Unit and Science is undertaking Chemistry. We are very much looking forward to seeing what work our students can produce in these units of work.

Grade Focus

Our focus for Grade 9 this week will be to reconnect with our school environment. Re-establishing relationships, catching up with class mates and teachers, re-setting schedules, following school procedures and generally transitioning into face to face learning. This process will be ongoing for the remainder of Term 2 as we set about our new “normal” at Kings Meadows High School. We will be continuing to apply good learning behaviours and academic rigour, ensuring that deadlines are being met and that we have caught up on anything that may have been missed whilst learning from home.
