Middle and Senior School Testing

Our Grade 3 to 6 students have been diligently working through a range of assessments to showcase their learning and readiness for the next step in their learning journey. The assessments covered a variety of subjects, including Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability, as well as key language skills such as Oral Reading Fluency, Comprehension, and Writing. These tests provide valuable insights into each student's progress and will help inform the final report results. We are proud of the effort and dedication our students have shown as they have undertaken these tasks and we have been impressed with their individual growth.

Leadership Speeches

We are excited to announce that Grade 5 students who are interested in applying for leadership positions for the upcoming school year will have the opportunity to present a speech outlining their dedication to their learning and their vision for our school. 

This is a wonderful chance for students to demonstrate their commitment, leadership qualities, and ideas for making a positive impact on our school community. We encourage all interested students to thoughtfully prepare their speech and practise this at home in preparation for the event in a few short weeks time. 

We look forward to hearing their inspiring plans for the future. Thank you for supporting your child in this exciting opportunity to grow as leaders.
