NAPLAN Results – A Moment to Celebrate!

While we try not to place too much emphasis on NAPLAN (Year 3 & 5) as it captures just one moment in time, we do use it as a valuable tool to reflect on the effectiveness of our teaching and the programs we implement across the school.

Over the past two years, we’ve invested heavily in strengthening our Literacy program, investing in evidence based programs such as The Writing Revolution, MSL, Spelling Mastery and Maqlit and we are thrilled to share that the results are beginning to speak for themselves. Our Writing results continue to grow, but what’s most exciting is the significant upward shift in Spelling and Grammar, historically areas of challenge for us. This growth is a powerful testament to the consistent, evidence-based approach of our teaching staff, the hard work of our amazing students, and the trust and support of you, our families.

A special mention must go to Kate Stroud, whose expertise and dedication to Literacy leadership is unmatched. Her impact on both staff professional learning and student outcomes cannot be overstated.

Take a look at this graph, we are beyond proud!

Sacred Heart – the best school in the Bayside (and we’re aiming for best in Victoria!).
