LEARNING MATTERS
CELEBRATION OF LEARNING
As we approach the end of another ten weeks of Learning from Home, our students have continued to impress with their ability to self-manage, adapt and remain positive and open to continuous learning. Through their feedback, it is clear that they have been able to reflect and feel proud of their achievement as well as recognize their strengths as learners.
At the Year 7 and 8 Level Assemblies, the following students received special mention for:
- Persisting and keeping focused on learning tasks
- Actively using feedback to improve their learning
- Participating in and engaging with the learning activities
- Using the correct etiquette in online communication
- Supporting their fellow classmates online

Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews - Touching Base in Term 4
Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews will be held in Week 3 of next term to provide an opportunity to check in and prepare for the return to face-to-face teaching and learning (all things going to plan with regards to the easing of restrictions in Melbourne).
The interviews will run from 2:30 – 5:00pm on Tuesday 20th and Thursday 22nd October. Period 5 classes will be cancelled on these days to enable all families and students to connect with their Pastoral Care teachers.
Families are asked to complete the online booking through the Parent Access Module which will be available from Monday 12th October to Friday 16th October.
STUDENT WORK - YEAR 8 HUMANITIES
8 Attard Humanities Class have completed a task where they were asked to adopt a Medieval Character who had committed a crime and would then be punished for their wrongly offence.
by Jessica Lam - 8 Attard
My name is Rowan Tatter, a 41-year-old apothecary who hails from the village of Rothenburg, and I’ve committed the heinous crime of theft. Ever since a famine ravaged through this land, the herbs and plants I’ve used to concoct my medicine and drugs have become scarce. Thus, people have stopped coming to my shop seeing as how I'm running low on supplies meaning I can't support my family, but I need to commit several sinful acts as I don’t want to see their miserable faces ever again. I started off by pickpocketing people when they were distracted and weren't looking which then escalated into silently sneaking into people’s homes and stealing their possessions at night. I've never felt so much guilt on my shoulder until now. I feel so ashamed that I had to resort to theft to support my family. One day, while I was purloining fruit, I was caught by the fruit vendor's child who called a nearby knight in town to apprehend me. Who would have thought I'd be thwarted by a child? The villagers raised a great hue and cry against my punishment because they refused to believe I did this dastardly act as I supported them and their families with medicine. I felt quite touched when they stood up for me, but all their arguing was for naught.

Good day, I am Ulric Arkwright who hails from the Manor of Kent. I am a poor peasant, tending the farm in long, utterly back breaking days to go home only to starve in slums filled with sickness and death. The black death has just swept the Europe, killing many of us peasants while the selfish lords and king sit in castles enduring no hardship while enslaving us. Well I’ve had enough. I’d like to know what’s keeping us peasants working for the lords, what’s keeping them above of us? To end the injustice I joined a rebellion, lead by Wat Tyler, which would be known as the peasants revolt! We armed ourselves, marched in London with our hearts bursting with the excitement that change was coming. We would have no more of this injustice, the tyranny would end and we would be free! We stormed buildings beheaded our evil opressors and were finally promised that forced labour would be abolished. However those promises did not stand. At the Manor of Norwich we were confronted and beaten in battle. I now I await my cruel and unusual punishment.
