Year 3

This term our integrated unit theme is Australia’s First Peoples. We’re looking forward to learning about the history and culture of Australia’s first people. 

Swimming Program

Gallery Image

The compulsory swimming program for Year 3 students is seven consecutive sessions in weeks 4 and 5 from Monday 3 August to Tuesday 11 August. Students will attend a 45 minute lesson each day at the Huntingtower Sports and Aquatic Centre (HSAC) Swim School in Mount Waverley. 

The event notice will be published on Compass. Please process your consent and payment by the due date. 

Please refer to the Swimming Program page in this newsletter for more detailed information, including a reminder to not order a Canteen lunch during the swimming program and provide extra brain food from home as the children get extra hungry.

Parent volunteers from each class are required to assist children get ready to return to school. Speak to your child’s teacher if you have completed the volunteer requirements and are available to assist. 

Year 3 parents are not permitted to attend HSAC for the swimming program unless they are an approved parent volunteer.

NAPLAN 2026

The Individual Report for Year 3 2026 NAPLAN is available via your Compass Chronicles. You can access these reports using either the Compass mobile app or the website. 

We recommend that you download a copy of your child’s NAPLAN report to an external location so you have access to it after your child leaves EHPS and your access to the parent portal closes. 

If you have questions about your child's NAPLAN results please discuss these with your child's classroom teacher.
