NAPLAN For Y3 and Y5
NAPLAN is a nationwide assessment conducted across Australia, undertaken by students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9.
At Beaufort Primary School, we utilise NAPLAN as one of several assessment tools to support our teaching and learning programs. We try not to put pressure on the students to be the best, but simply do their best.
It is really important that students in Year 3 and 5 be at school by 9.00am on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week, allowing them maximum time on each assessment.
Parents and Friends Meeting
Parents and Friends will be holding their first meeting the Friday 6th March at 9.00am in the staff room.
Parents and Friends is a great opportunity to get involved in the and help support raise funds for the school.
We are looking for new parents to come and share their ideas and expertise.
Our first event is the Annual Colour Fun Run, which is a student favourite.
Even if you can not commit to helping at every event, any support is greatly
House Athletics Day
Tuesday 10th March
This coming Tuesday, weather permitting, we will be holding our House Athletics Day. Students will arrive at school as normal and will walk across to the football oval to take part.
Parents and special people are very welcome to attend and support.
We ask that students please bring their own lunches on the day, as the timetable of events can change throughout the day and we do not have the flexibility on waiting on lunch to be delivered.
Students are encouraged to wear their house colours, either a t-shirt, ribbons etc., as well as enough snacks and drinks for the day.
Sunscreen will be available throughout the day and students will be reminded to reapply regularly.
School Photos
School Photos are this Thursday. Can all students please ensure they are dressed in their school uniform.
Family photos are also available and can be ordered on the ordering website.
Information regarding School Photos was sent out on XUNO, however, you can also place orders via the below link

School Council Elections
The election processed closed today at 4.00pm, however, we are still looking for some more parents or community members to join our school council.
