Principal's Report 

A very warm welcome back to everyone and an additional welcome to our new families who have joined us short term and long term. We have several families who are either returning to Australia or staying for a short-term visit from China. Ni Hao.  Thank you for adding your vibrance and energy to our community and we hope we give you wonderful Windsor memories.

Some minor works have been completed, in particular the ELC toilets have had an upgrade.  While there is still more work to be done, the taps and toilet seats are a good step.  Anyone walking through the Hornby Street building will see some floor vinyl lifted and some concrete removed – we are searching for a water leak source.

This week our Year 3 and Year 5 families received feedback on how students went with their Naplan testing.  This year the assessment gradings are the second year of the new system and it still is a learning journey in how results are interpreted and used.  The old system placed students in scaled numeric bands (Band 1, Band 2, etc.), while the new system uses the descriptors ‘Needs Additional Support’, ‘Developing’, ‘Strong’ and ‘Exceeding’.  It is unknown how the two assessment systems correlate so it will be hard for parents/carers of Year 5 students to make comparisons to the 2022 Year 3 results. For any issues or questions parents/carers may have regarding the changes to the Naplan structure, do not hesitate to contact the school.

Finally, here is to a wonderful term.  It is hard to believe we are already in the second half of the year.
