Level 3 and Level 5 NAPLAN completed for 2025
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!
Level 1 and 2 Hands on Science Weather Incursion
During Week 8, as a part of Term 1 inquiry learning, Level 1 and 2 students participated in the 'Hands on Science' weather incursion. This 90-minute incursion was packed full of models and demonstrations of various kinds of weather and provided students with an excellent understanding of how different kinds of weather events occur.
Students studied the movement of water and air to learn how rain is produced. They also modelled the water cycle, cyclonic movement and rain formation. Students predicted, observed and reflected on each Science activity. A wonderful incursion full of great learning!
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. Learning begins when students enter the classroom and it is important to avoid missing important lesson time.
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.
