Assessment Schedule

All Middle School students have received their assessment schedules for 2026. Students have received a paper copy of the 2026 assessment overview of their grade. The full assessment booklet is posted on each Grade Google classroom and the assessment guide within the parent portal. I encourage parents of our Middle School students to go through their upcoming assessments to assist in developing calendars and study plans.

Our school NAPLAN assessments will be completed on students own devices. Prior to the assessments all students will need to install the 2026 locked down browser on their device. Link here: NAPLAN Locked Down Browser

Meet the Teacher Evening

The 2026 Meet the Teacher’s Evening was held on Thursday, 19th February. This was a welcome opportunity for Year 7 parents to make connections with other parents in their son’s class. It was also a chance to discuss shared aims and objectives with their son’s teachers for 2026. I would like to thank Mr Murphy and Mr Dean, our TAS Head Teachers, for their assistance with preparing food for the evening.
