News from the Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Thank you to everyone for their assistance on Friday with the Athletics Day. From the setting and packing up crew, the event helpers and the walkers your assistance was greatly appreciated. The last groups left the venue at 12pm so we were safely back at school before the heat of the day.
Athletics Day activities Part Two
This Friday we warmly invite you to attend a morning of sport activities at school. The children will be participating in the remaining Athletic Day activities including: the final judging of aerobics, tug of war, and the relay event. All grades will also showcase their novelty ball games events. The 1/2 students will then be participating in their mini tabloid rotations. The morning will kick off at 9am for aerobics.
The approximate timetable for the morning is:
NAPLAN FOR YEAR 3s AND YEAR 5s
This year NAPLAN is occurring from March 15th through to March 27th. It is an online assessment that occurs nationally each year for grades 3, 5, 7 and 9. Each child that sits these tests receives a copy of their results measuring where they sit against the State and National grade level cohort. The school uses the data from this testing to measure teacher impact and inform future planning.
NAPLAN is a national literacy and numeracy assessment that students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sit each year. It is the only national assessment all Australian students have the opportunity to undertake. NAPLAN information for parents and carers brochure is available on the VCAA website. It is available in a range of languages.
