PRINCIPAL'S REPORT:
Reports and Progress Conferences
All students were issued with their mid-year reports yesterday. As previously reported in newsletters the Department of Education is in the process of reviewing their Reporting to Families Policy and Procedures. This is to ensure that the process of communicating learning progress and achievement to students and families is contemporary best practice and suits the needs of all. This year Kings Meadows High School mid-year reports include Subject and Work Habit ratings that provide information about progress and achievement.
In order to provide further detailed information around progress, areas for further development and social and personal development we are inviting parents to engage in our Progress Conference opportunities on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd June, Wednesday 30th June and Thursday 1st July. These conferences will allow staff to have two-way authentic communication with families about student learning and future areas for growth rather than a brief 40-word comment.

Winter Uniform
I would like to remind families of our clear winter uniform requirements. Students have a variety of items that are included in our Everyday Uniform to assist in keeping them warm. Grey pants are in our policy for both girls and boys and most girls who choose to wear the skirt also wear stockings to keep warm. We encourage students to layer up underneath as hoodies and non-school based jackets are not permitted. We now have school beanies which can be worn when students are outside at break times as well as before and after school.
The new addition of our school logo trackpants are only for wear during HPE activities or competitions and form part of the Sports Uniform that students can elect to wear. They are NOT part of the Everyday Uniform and have not been ratified as such by the School Association. We thank families for your co-operation with adhering to our Uniform Policy Guidelines as one variable that contributes to our strong positive reputation in our community is our impeccable school uniform.
School Association
We have re-scheduled the School Association AGM and Ordinary General Meeting to Tuesday 22nd June at 5.30pm. This is to allow for parents who may be already on-site attending Progress Conference meetings to stay and attend this meeting.
Thank you to those parents who took the time to complete our School Association survey and if we have not made contact with you as yet please know you are more than welcome to attend if you indicated an interest. The survey also indicated that the most popular time for normal meetings is still 7.00pm on a Wednesday evening so we will resume these at the remainder of our meetings after next Tuesday's AGM and General Meeting.
