Term 1 Week 7
We are really in the depths of the term now. Congratulations to our Year 7 and Year 9 students who completed the first of their NAPLAN assessments this week. A big thank you to Matt Roberts who managed to navigate the state-wide outage and meant that we didn't experience any issues with our assessments. This week we have also launched our new progress reports, you can log in to compass now to check on the feedback from the teachers. These reports will be released each term in Week 7.
We have also been notified today that the proposed stop work action by the AEU will be going ahead on the 24th of March, keep an eye out for further information on this and how you will be affected next week.
Looking ahead to next week (It's a big one):
