Term 4 has just begun and we are seeing the students achieving such fantastic results. The younger students’ work on Facebook is always a source of inspiration and the Senior students Term 3 Assessments were outstanding. You will see more of these in the Students of the month section.
It has been exciting to see our first group of graduating Euka students moving into their next steps with the Australian retailers partnership we have been able to offer.
We will be sharing more about the various pathways our students pursue after they have finished their schooling with Euka.
We have had a huge number of families reaching out regarding the enrolment into Grade 11 and 12 for 2023. The great news is we will have enrolment open in November, 2022. As always, we give priority to Grade 10 Euka students, so ensure you get your new Seniors enrolled and then they can enjoy the end of the year with confidence.
Heads up – Southern States have turned their clocks forward an hour. Daylight savings has meant a shift in the time that the Euka support and Teaching team are available. Keep in mind that the team work on NSW time and will be flat out from 8:30am to 4:30 pm Monday to Thursday – Friday 8:30am to 3pm (EST)
Students of the Month!
Each month the Euka team is thrilled to see the various pieces of work that families email in or post on the Euka Facebook group. It is truly inspiring to see the effort and enthusiasm the kids put into their work. See just a few of them below:
Rowan – Grade 5, Narnia – Voyage of the Dawn Treader- Character studies, voyage map and message in a bottle. Rowan really struggled understanding the language used in this book…he’s glad it’s finished but has now requested the first 2 books in the series!
