Foundation Peter Pirate Penguin Party

Happy Birthday Peter Penguin! On Friday 8th March our Foundation students had a fabulous day dressing up as pirates and penguins, parading, playing party games and searching for treasure. They also enjoyed a delicious party lunch (thank you parents for the wonderful spread). So much fun learning about the letter 'P'.

Here are some more photos!

NAPLAN 2024 

During Week 7 and 8, our Level 3 and Level 5 students took part in the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).

Over four days, students took part in testing in the areas of Writing, Reading, Numeracy, and Conventions of Language.

NAPLAN tests the skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life, such as reading, writing, spelling, grammar and numeracy. It is important to remember that NAPLAN is not about passing or failing, but about assessing learning progress.

I would like to thank all of our students who took part in the tests for their efforts and at all times trying their best. I would also like to thank all teachers involved for the caring way you have supported your students over the past two weeks with NAPLAN.

Schools generally receive their students’ NAPLAN reports from mid-August to mid-September. The school will notify families when the reports are being sent home.

When students finished their NAPLAN assessment a little earlier than other students and were respectfully waiting for others to finish, they were able to draw. I wanted to share some of these drawings with you. So much talent!

Being on time for school

It is so important that students are arriving at school on time for the 9.00am start of the school day. If for exceptional circumstances, your child is going to be late for school, a parent or carer must sign them in at the school office. Students cannot sign themselves in and out.
