Term 3 Reporting and Communicating
As a part of our reporting and communicating with families this year, we will have an "open" afternoon where families will be able to come for a look at their child’s Evidence Of Learning. We are wanting this opportunity to be an informal way for your child(ren) to share with you some work they are proud of, and also a chance to have an informal chat with their teacher about future learning. This will be a self-guided look at Evidence of Learning through student work samples (bookwork and on devices). Teachers will be in Learning Areas to help direct families, but won’t be available to be booked for a period of time, like the 3 Way Conferences. Families can request a copy to be sent home at a later time. This will occur on Wednesday, 24th September. Please keep an eye out for the form with RSVP information.
2025 School Satisfaction Survey
We want to hear from you, as input from families is very important to help us inform our school planning and decision-making.
Every year, the Department for Education, Children and Young People conducts a School Satisfaction Survey to find out what your child(ren)'s school does well and where it may improve. We would be grateful if you took part in our online survey about Reece High School. The survey is open from Monday, 25 August 2025, until Friday, 19 September 202,5 and should take about 5 minutes to complete. Each family should nominate one person to fill in this survey for their child(ren). Take the online survey by clicking this Link or pasting it in your browser: https://nam.dcv.ms/4gKCH0yXpW
The survey is carried out on a secure website, and all responses are anonymous and confidential. All families in this school received the same survey link, and no identifying information is collected. A summary of the survey results will be provided to schools. Responses from individuals or small groups will NOT be disclosed to any Department for Education, Children and Young People staff. Please contact our office if you require any assistance. Thank you for taking the time to fill in this survey.
Uniform
We would like to thank parents and students for the effort they have made to ensure they are in full school uniform. The school uniform builds a sense of connectedness among students and to the school. When worn well, it enhances the way in which individuals and the school are viewed in the community. Uniform also means that students can easily be identified as members of RHS, increasing safety and supervision for all students.
Online Safety
Teachers often get questions in relation to social media. If you have concerns about a social media platform and its content, please ensure it is reported to the eSafety Commissioner. The website also has a range of useful and important information for parents and online safety.
Students Leaving School
Appointments
We understand some students may need to leave school during the day to attend appointments. If this is the case, it is essential they follow our school protocol.
Sickness or Injury
If students need to be collected from school as a result of illness or injury, the office staff will contact parents. Students SHOULD NOT be contacting parents through their own devices. Students still need to sign out when leaving by speaking directly to the office staff.
Appointments
This system is in place to keep our records accurate and ensure the safety of all our students, so please help us by following the process as outlined below.
* A note of permission should be provided from the parents if it is a pre-arranged appointment.
* Students need to sign out at the front office and sign in if and when they return to school.
* Students must be collected from the front office, not met in the car park or on the road.
* The person who collects the student must also sign them out.
If you need to contact your child during school hours, can you please phone the school office on 6420 8100, and the message will be passed on to your child.
Students Arriving Late to School
If your child arrives late to school, they must sign in at the office. You will then receive a text message asking you to explain your child’s lateness if you have not already done so. Students must sign in at the office if they are late, no matter what time they arrive.
