New hopes, new dreams, new memories
Dear Parents and Carers,
As everyone returns to school and begins anew for 2021, we are encouraging our children to be people of hope, with attainable dreams and ready to confidently create new 2021 memories.
On Monday each SHPS child will receive a bookmark created with love and enthusiasm by Mrs B (Student Welfare Officer) and her enthusiastic and generous team. This will highlight our way forward and celebrate being back together in community.
Our focus will recognise the importance of wellbeing and acknowledge that children’s learning stamina may have diminished.
Once again, we send out to all families a huge thank you for your work and support over the last 10 weeks. We are truly grateful to belong to such a wonderful community.
Semester 2 Reporting
Reports
Due to the unusual circumstances, SHPS reports will show grading in Religious Education, English and Mathematics only. The reports will be available electronically through the COMPASS Parent Portal in Week 10.
The Parent/Teacher Interviews
We encourage all parents/carers to make the time for an online parent/teacher interview with your child/ren’s teacher during Week 8. This will be a time to recognise the contribution and observations of parents during remote learning. Together teachers and parents will discuss and celebrate learning successes and develop goals for the remainder of the year. Students will contribute to this conversation by reflecting on their learning prior to the interview (similar to Semester 1. Interview bookings will open in a couple of weeks.

World Teacher’ Day
God of Love,
Thank you for every teacher who
notices a child’s special gift
listens and gently guides
expects much and loves enough to demand more.
Thank you for the special teacher each one of us remembers.
