NAPLAN Schedule

Below is the NAPLAN Testing Schedule for our Year 3 & 5 students. Please try to avoid appointments during these times. If a student is absent due to illness or any other reason, we can organise catch-up sessions but as these disrupt valuable classroom instructional time, the goal is to avoid these whenever possible. 

Literacy and Numeracy Tips to Help Your Child Every Day

Families are the most significant influence on their children's learning, development, health, safety and wellbeing.  The Victorian Government Education and Training have published a guide to assist parents and carers of children from 0-12.  Some great ideas and support for families to engage with their child's development can be found here.

Your family can play a key role in helping the child in your care prepare for school, and then succeed when they reach school.

Sound Waves

This year we will continue using Sound Waves resources to support our teaching of reading and spelling. Sound Waves aligns with the Australian Curriculum and is informed by current scientific evidence on how children best learn to read and spell.
