Semester One Report Cards

Semester One Report Cards will be issued via email to all parents/carers on the last day of Term 2 (Friday 21st June). These report cards will contain a cumulative result based upon all summative assessment completed across Terms 1 and 2. Teachers will also provide a Behaviour, Effort and Homework result for your student.

These will be sent via an automated email from the information stored on One School. If there have been changes to your active email address, please update your details with our Administration Staff administration@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au to ensure you receive your child's report.

Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions about the Semester 1 Report Card.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent Teacher Interviews will be held on Wednesday 24th July from 12:00pm - 7:00pm in the new Performing Arts Centre (PAC). Bookings for these interviews will open early in Term 3 to ensure you are able to meet with your student's Semester 2 teachers. All bookings are made via the Daymap Parent Connect Portal.
