SUMMARY:Information Evening
DESCRIPTION:For parents and students in Year 11-13 who do not have their numeracy and literacy co-requisites.\nThis evening will focus on the Literacy and Numeracy Co-requisite\, a critical qualification that all students must achieve. The session will provide a clear overview of what the co-requisite involves and offer practical guidance on how you to best support your child in successfully attaining it.  \nWith only seven weeks remaining before their final opportunity to sit the CAA in 2025\, it is essential that we work together to ensure they are well-prepared. While there will be further opportunities in 2026 for students returning to school\, we cannot stress enough the importance of achieving this qualification as soon as possible.  \nDuring the evening\, we will outline the interventions and support being implemented at school to assist your child. Equally important\, we will discuss how you can provide support at home. A wrap-around approach is vital—while the school is committed to doing all it can\, your involvement will play a key role in your child’s success.  \nWe strongly encourage you to attend this session to ensure your child is fully supported in reaching this important milestone.
