To Parents and Caregivers,
As we approach Friday of Week 2, we are excited to share that we are nearing the completion of our Term 3/4 assessment focused on re-designing Holy Family Catholic School. This project reflects the incredible growth of our school, with students collaborating to envision our school’s expansion from Early Learning Centre to High School.
This week, our students are diligently finalising the key components of their assessments. They are reviewing their work to ensure all requirements are met, perfecting their Co-Spaces designs, and refining the justifications for their proposed changes.
In Year 5, students are focusing on the following elements:
- Mapping the school and identifying coordinates
- Translating building locations
- Calculating the area and perimeter of classrooms and additional structures
- Applying financial mathematics to create a school budget and menu
- Developing a Co-Spaces design of the school, which includes coding, editing, and construction
- Providing justifications for their design choices and inclusion.
In Year 6, students are required to include:
- Mapping the school and identifying coordinates
- Translating building locations
- Calculating the area and perimeter of classrooms and additional structures
- Measuring the volume of buildings
- Determining angles of buildings
- Developing a Co-Spaces design of the school, including coding, editing, and construction
- Applying financial mathematics to create a school budget and menu
- Providing justifications for their design choices and inclusions
Our students have approached this assessment with immense pride and enthusiasm, skilfully integrating their mathematics, technology, and artistic talents. It has been truly inspiring to watch them collaborate, delegate responsibilities, and support one another as they work towards a collective vision for the re-design of Holy Family Catholic School.
Thank you,
Cassundra and Luke
