Principal’s Message

What a busy two weeks we have had!

With sporting selections, dance rehearsals, and school rotations there has not been any spare time.

Our students have been working hard in our academics and our Year 3 and 5 are well prepared for NAPLAN.

This will be occurring over the next two weeks, due to this rotations and maths groups will be cancelled.

We had a wonderful turn out to our "Elev8 Workshop".

We are holding our first parent workshop around this on Wednesday 3rd April at 4:30pm in the Hall. Please save the date and we hope to see as many of you there.

Congratulations is in order!

Annabella in Platypus for her successful qualification in Regional swimming.

Our boys and girls basketball teams played well at the gala day and showed true sportsmanship both on and off the field.

Denzel in Platypus, Hannah and Charlie in Emus for successfully making it to the Zone basketball team.

Don't forget our Colour Explosion is open for fundraising, we can't wait to see what great things happen with this.

LITERACY & NUMERACY NEWS

NAPLAN

Each year the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is undertaken by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students will participate in tests for writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.

NAPLAN 2024 will take place from Wednesday 13 March to Monday 25 March.

NAPLAN is just one part of our school learning assessment program. The tests assess literacy and numeracy skills your child is already learning at school.

In preparation for NAPLAN, our school will undertake activities to help students become familiar with the format and functionality of the online tests. These activities are not an assessment of student ability and will not be marked. Excessive preparation for NAPLAN is not required nor recommended. The public demonstration site (https://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site) is available to see the types of questions, tools and functions used in the NAPLAN tests.

Further information about NAPLAN is available on the NESA website (https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/understanding-the-curriculum/naplan/parent-information).

If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact Mrs Power.

ATTENDANCE

Education for your child is important and regular attendance at school is essential for your child to achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options. NSW public schools work in partnership with parents to encourage and support regular attendance of children and young people. When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children.

Education in New South Wales is compulsory for all children between the ages of six years and below the minimum school leaving age of 17 years. The Education Act 1990 requires that parents ensure their children of compulsory school age are enrolled at, and regularly attend school, or, are registered with the NSW Education and Standards Authority for home schooling.

Once enrolled, children are required to attend school each day it is open for students.
