Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent Teacher Interviews will be held on Thursday 30 March from 3:30pm until 6:00pm and on Wednesday 5 April from 3:30pm until 8:00pm. Interviews will be conducted via Zoom so you can participate in them from your own home or workplace. Bookings for Parent Teacher Interviews will open on Monday 20 March. Detailed instructions on how to make and cancel appointments will be emailed to all parents when the bookings open. 

You will need to use your Aitken login details to make appointments, so please ensure that you have them on hand. These were mailed to all parents in January. If you do not know your login details, please contact itsupport@aitkencollege.edu.au.    

NAPLAN 2023 

NAPLAN testing will begin next Wednesday 15 March and continue until Monday 20 March, at these times:

Each student will be required to complete four tests: Writing, Reading, Conventions of Language and Numeracy. Students who are absent for test sessions will undertake catch-up tests wherever possible, between Tuesday 21 March and Friday 24 March. 

Please make sure that your child has a working, fully charged iPad and a working set of headphones that can be used with his/her iPad for the NAPLAN test days. If your child’s iPad does not yet have the NAP Locked-Down Browser app installed and updated to the 2023 version (which has a lime green icon), please install this immediately, by going to the App store on the student’s iPad and searching for ‘NAP Locked-Down Browser’, and either ‘GET’ or ‘UPDATE’.

NAPLAN results will be mailed home to parents as soon as we receive them from VCAA, but they are not expected until much later in the year. Please make sure your home address details are kept up to date with us so they are mailed to the correct address when the time comes.
