STUDENTS returned to school on April 26 for the start of Term 2 at King Island District High School.
Student Well-being and School Improvement continue to be priorities. It will be a busy term marked by extended learning program opportunities, and camps that complement core curriculum areas.
“Term 2 has started off very productively. Students have reconnected with staff and peers and have all engaged in their learning programs. We are looking forward to a busy and rewarding term,” principal Denise Bryant said.
“A number of school camps will be held as well as the Speak Up Stay ChatTy schools’ program, First Aid in Schools, NAIDOC Week and Walk Safely to a School Day. Reading and Student Well-being continue to be our School Improvement priorities.
“Timetabled opportunities for student engagement are the Grade 3-6 Enrichment program that includes Drama, Music, Sport, Digital Technologies, Stop Motion and Book Club. “The offerings for Grades 7-10 are MDT, Cooking, Music, Art, Study and Outdoor Education.
These programs complement our core curriculum areas of English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Civics, Health and PE.
The Garden program continues to be of interest to our students,” Ms Bryant said.
At the start of the new Tasmanian government schools term, Minister for Education, Children and Youth, Roger Jaensch said, “Education is the most powerful tool we can give young people to take control of their future lives and opportunities. Active participation in learning is essential for all young people. “Earlier this year, the ‘Every school day matters’ campaign launched and the start of Term 2 is a great time to remind our school communities about the importance of attending school every day.”
