Assistant Principal Report - Junior School 

Year 7 students are off to Kyneton this week to participate in Year 7 camp.  There are lots of activities that will foster positive relationships and resilience.  Students often return from camp with fond memories, and I look forward to hearing lots of stories next week.   

Year 8 students are involved in the Year 8 Engagement Program this week.  The week has got off to a great start.  There is a variety of activities that students will participate in. One of the highlights from day one was the ‘bubble soccer’.

Year 8 and 9 students are in the process of completing their course selections for 2024.  For the Year 8 students, this means choosing elective subjects to complement their core studies of English, Maths, Science and Humanities.  For Year 9 students, this means selecting electives to complement core studies of English and Mathematics; or applying for the vocational stream at Year 10. Students are encouraged to talk to their teachers and co-ordinators to help support their decision-making.

Year 7 & 9 NAPLAN    

Parents/carer’s will receive 2023 NAPLAN results in the mail over the next week.  Please note that the reporting is different this year, with students being placed in one of four categories for each of the tests.  The proficiency categories are: 

• Exceeding

• Strong

• Developing

• Needs additional support

Please read the information sheet that is included with your child’s results and contact me if you have any questions.
