Commencement Assembly

Congratulations to all our Secondary students who were inducted at today's Commencement Assembly, including our 2024 Secondary House Captains, Beacon Leaders and Year 12 cohort. 

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 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.

If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact your child’s teacher.

Year 7 

First Day of Secondary School

Our new Year 7 cohort have conquered their first few weeks of Secondary school. They're first day was full of ice breakers and learning about expectations surrounding uniform, yard and classroom. We're looking forward to watching these students explore new subjects and friendships as the year progresses.
