Canvas Access
Parents will have received an email from Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office with their username and password to access their child’s class resources, assessment dates, feedback on drafts and final results in Canvas. If you are having difficulties with the Canvas link, that was on your email, please try this one: Canvas Login. If you still cannot log in, reset your password, with the forgot password link.

You will find all of your child’s assessment due dates in the Canvas calendar. An email will also be sent to all parents with an overview document of assessment.
Tutoring Program
Our tutoring program resumes this year, every Thursday afternoon from 3:15 pm to 4:15 pm. This invaluable opportunity provides students with support across various subjects.
Assessment Policy
We urge all students and parents to familiarise themselves with this document to ensure a fair and just assessment process. It can be found on the college website Assumption College Website or in the student diary.
Semester 2, 2024 Academic Awards
We recently celebrated the success of students that qualified for an Academic Award. These awards were presented at our Academic Assembly. We also welcomed home, Mr Alexander Newley who was our Alumni guest speaker on the day. Alex graduated in 2023 as the Promixe Accessit, coming a close second to the College Dux. Alex spoke to the students about being resilient with their learning and always reaching out for help when needed. We love when our Alumni students visit and inspire the rest of the community with their words of wisdom.
For students to receive an academic award the following criteria on their Semester 2, 2024 report was applied. Congratulations to all the students!

Staffing
We are looking forward to the much anticipated welome of our newest Maths teacher in the near future. Some students will have had a Mrs zzMath on their timetable for the start of this term. We are waiting for final approval of this employment and hope that we will be greeting our newest staff member very soon. We thank Mrs Hohenheim (Curriculum Leader – Mathematics) for the organisation, planning and setting of the lessons to ensure that students are consistently getting access to the Mathematics curriculum. If parents/guardians have any questions around this, please do not hesitate to contact us via the College office or through emails.
