Parent/Teacher/Student/Conferences

Thanks you to the parents/guardians that attended our Parent/Teacher/Student/Conferences last week. We understand that your time is valuable, and we appreciate your commitment to your child's education.

As a college, we value the partnership with parents and recognise the importance of working together to support the education journey of your child. Your involvement and support are integral to the success of our students and welcomed at any stage of your child’s education journey. Please contact your child’s teacher at any stage during the term, it doesn’t need to be only at these conferences.

This year, we also ran a CANVAS information session every 20 minutes for parents/guardians. Much of this was setting up CANVAS access for parents. A reminder that this link must be used: https://dotcs.instructure.com/login/canvas. It will look like the following image. Please do not google CANVAS, your log in will not work. There is a QR code below for the CANVAS App – please ensure you select Toowoomba Catholic Schools (parents) as the school.

Please contact the college office if you cannot access Canvas, we will assist you through the process.

Atomi – Year 10-12 Resource Platform

All Year 7-12 students have access to Atomi. Atomi is an online learning platform that uses AI to help with study, revision and exam practice. It also allows students to access the current Queensland syllabus they are studying now.

Atomi's AI system uses algorithms to personalise each student's learning experience, providing them with resources and study material that align with their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Atomi offers a wide range of subjects, including English, Mathematics, Science, and Humanities, which are all aligned with the Australian curriculum and/or the QCAA Senior Syllabi. Students can access interactive lessons, quizzes, and practice exams, which are designed to help them consolidate their understanding of key concepts.

One of the main benefits of Atomi is that it provides students with immediate feedback on their progress. As they work through the platform's exercises, Atomi's AI system monitors their performance and provides them with real-time feedback on their strengths and weaknesses. This helps students to identify areas where they need to improve and focus their study efforts accordingly.

Overall, Atomi is a valuable resource for Year 10 -12 students who are looking to improve their academic performance. Its AI-powered platform, personalised learning experience, and comprehensive syllabus coverage make it a powerful tool for students who are looking to achieve academic success.

Following is a video that explains how to use the platform.
