Deputy Principal's Message

Well done to all students who participated in the NAPLAN assessments over the past 9 days. We are very proud of your persistence, resilience and determination! It was fantastic to see how well the students applied themselves and gave their best effort.

School Photos

School photos will be held next week on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 April. Students are asked to please wear full school uniform on their scheduled photo day. At this stage, students in Years 3-6 will have their photo taken on Wednesday 2 April and K-2 photos will take place on Thursday 3 April.

Year 6 to 7 - enrol online

The Year 6 to 7 transition and enrolment process has moved online for the second year. The moving to high school page has been added to all primary school websites and can be found on the Ben Venue Public School website. Links to the online Expression of Interest (EOI) and Placement Not Required (PNR) forms are currently available on the moving to high school page and must be completed no later than  Friday 28 March 2025. 

Please note that a form for all 2025 Year 6 students must be completed, regardless of whether they are attending a public or independent school in 2026. Students attending a NSW public school in 2026 are required to complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) form. If your child does not require a placement in a government high school next year, please complete the Placement Not Required (PNR) form. 

If you are currently unsure whether your child will be attending a NSW Government school, please still complete an EOI and follow up with us once a decision has been made.

The online process will guide you through your options and collect the information required to make the process as smooth as possible. Information provided via these forms enables us to support your child’s transition to high school and ensures the department can fulfil its duty of care to all students.

If you require paper forms, please see the office. Paper forms must be completed and submitted to the office no later than Tuesday 25 March.
