Their enthusiasm and engagement in class activities demonstrate a promising start to the new school year. Overall, their seamless transition reflects a positive outlook for their continued growth and success throughout the year.

NAPLAN
Next week, students in grades 3 and 5 are participating in NAPLAN. This is just one aspect of a school’s assessment and reporting process- it does not replace ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance. Throughout the year we capture student learning in many different ways to track their progress and share their achievements with you. It is important to remember standardised testing doesn’t measure everything- a student’s unique talents, creativity and resilience are just as important, if not more so! This is a snapshot of student learning on one day of the year and we just encourage students to have a go and do their best!
