A Message from the

Amadeus Music Program
Our Amadeus Music Program is under way. This year there has been a slight change to the way the program works. Students will have a three week rotating timetable. Each student will have the opportunity to work with their tutors for a 30-minute group tutorial on two of the three weeks. In the other week they will work with the tutors in an ensemble with the other strings or concert band students.
NAPLAN 2025
This year, our Year 3 and Year 5 students will sit NAPLAN beginning Wednesday 12th March.
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
This testing assesses key components of the Australian Curriculum; however it is important to be mindful that many parts of the curriculum are not assessed in NAPLAN. Furthermore, this testing only assesses individual student achievement in a given area, on a given day. NAPLAN is often described as only providing a snapshot of student achievement.
The ongoing teaching, assessment and evaluation of student achievement undertaken by our classroom teachers, and their intimate knowledge of each student, should never be overlooked or undervalued.
If you have any questions, please contact your child's class teacher or myself.
