NAPLAN

 

NAPLAN test sessions continue next week. Catch-up sessions will be organised for absent students. 

 

Reports will be made available to parents/guardians later in the year.

It is important to remember that while NAPLAN results can indicate how a child is progressing in different areas of the curriculum, they do not give a complete picture or represent the worth of any one individual.

 

Later in the year, parents and carers will receive their child’s personal NAPLAN report. The report will describe your child’s particular skills in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy. The report will also show how your child performed in relation to national minimum standards. These describe the minimum acceptable standards for students across Australia.

INCOMPLETE TASK CATCH-UP DAY - 4 APRIL

 

Students with outstanding work in Term 1 will be asked to remain at the College on Friday, 4 April (Student Free Day).

Families will receive notification individually. Impacted students will be supervised and supported in the CLC (Library).

Students who choose not to attend will be required to meet with House Leaders, a Deputy Principal, and their families in Term 2 to discuss academic progress and support.

 

SAVE THE DATE - PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS

 

Year 7-12 parent-teacher interviews are fast approaching and are an opportunity to discuss how students progress in different subject areas. It is essential that student learning is at the centre of these meetings, and as such, they must be in attendance. Learning Progress Meetings will be held onsite and online to facilitate maximum participation and flexibility.

 

We are looking forward to meeting with parents and students during these meetings, which are scheduled for:

  • Thursday, 3 April, 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM - Onsite (College Stadium)
  • Friday, 4 April, 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM - Online (Microsoft Teams)

 

Letters will be emailed to families with instructions on how to make a booking.

Please keep an eye out for this information in your email inbox.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Thursday, 3 April, we will be running a shortened timetable; students will be dismissed at 2:30 PM
  • Friday, 4 April - Student Free Day and Incomplete Tasks catch-up day for students with outstanding coursework.
