Accelerated Reader Targets

This term we are challenging the Year 4's to not only meet, but exceed their Accelerated Reader Points targets. Students have set targets they will work towards but we are keen to see how many points students can achieve this term, even once they have reached their targets, to ensure they are setting goals that will challenge them moving forward. We encourage you to check in with your child to see how they are going towards their goal and to see how many points they think they will be able to achieve.

Year 5

• Wednesday 20th August: Immigration Museum Excursion

Volunteers Needed

If you would like to volunteer to support the Year 5 students on their excursion to the Immigration Museum, please email your child's class teacher. 

Reading Targets

Students have conferenced with their teacher and collaborated on selecting a challenging but achievable reading volume target for Term 3. Please support your child by asking them how they are tracking. They can show you their progress on the Accelerated Reader website.

Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to join us on our excursion to Scienceworks this week. We will require volunteers again for our excursion to IMAX and Melbourne Museum on Friday 5th September. If you are available and have a valid WWC, please email your child's teacher.

Reading Targets

Students have conferenced with their teacher and collaborated on selecting a challenging but achievable reading volume target for Term 3. Please support your child by asking them how they are tracking. They can show you their progress on the Accelerated Reader website. We highly encourage students to read hard copies of novels from the school or community library rather than reading short texts on devices as this will better prepare them for high school.
