From Mr Ridgway

NAPLAN is an annual National Literacy and Numeracy assessment sat by students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. It is the only national assessment all Australian students have the opportunity to undertake. This year NAPLAN testing will again take place in Term 1 commencing on Wednesday 12 March and concluding on Monday 24 March. Key NAPLAN dates and a breakdown of the testing timetable are available to be viewed here. 

Below is the NAPLAN timetable for our school. Students absent on testing days will be afforded catch-up sessions up until Monday 24 March.

For further information regarding NAPLAN 2025, please access the PDF below, or contact your child's classroom teacher.

If you are concerned about your child's participation in NAPLAN, please contact your child's classroom teacher.

Term 1 Community Working Bee

We're excited to invite you to join us for our Term 1 CEPS Community Working Bee. This term we are offering two sessions for families to be involved. 

Friday 21 March - 2.30-4.30pm

Saturday 22 March - 1.00-3.00pm

This is a fantastic opportunity for our school community to come together and make a positive impact on our school. Our focus will be on repainting a section of our playground. 

We're looking forward to fun and productive gatherings, and we hope to see many of you there. Thank you in advance for your support and dedication to making our school a better place for everyone.

Kiss and Go - Ensuring Community Safety

The 'Kiss and Go' signage installed on Silver St is designed to improve community safety, in particular student safety during the busy 3.30pm pick-up period. Unfortunately, several parents/carers are continuing to park in these spaces for durations well beyond the designated 2-minute limit. The Kingston Council has provided some information below for your reference. Due to increased safety concerns, the council has also advised that their law enforcement team will be patrolling this area during pick-up periods. In addition, we will be reinforcing with students the importance of using our many manned school crossings at all times. We ask families to continue this conversation at home.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Robert
