Principal's Report

Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter in Term 3!  We have had a strong start to the term and rather confidently in that our calendar is full to the brim of exciting excursions, events and fun things. As we commence a new semester, it is once again an opportunity to reflect on the growth in all our students and to give thanks to our wonderful staff and supportive families.  I encourage all students to get off to the best start that they can and begin working immediately on achieving the goals that they have set with their teacher and families, after receiving mid-year reports.

This Term promises to be another exciting but busy one with Camps, Athletics Days, Book Fun Day, swimming, and a very special Author visit all on the Calendar on top of exciting learning opportunities in every classroom. 

NAPLAN

Congratulations to our Year 3 and Year 5 students on their outstanding NAPLAN results! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to learning have truly paid off. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and the excellent progress you've made. The overall results for our school are again excellent - 8 out of the 10 measures performing ahead of similar schools to ours. We have been acknowledged by the Department of Education for these results and later this term will be visited by some Senior Executives to look at the work we are doing as a school.

WELLBEING

At this time we have the opportunity to spend time with our families there are many fun, relationship building and morale building activities that we as families can promote!  If you are looking for ways to beat the home office and home classroom blues, getting out there in the backyard might just do it.  Here are some great activities that families can take part in together!

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019). 

The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. 

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal

If you have any questions about the NCCD please contact the school.
