Principal's Report

Congratulations on student effort in NAPLAN Week 1

Last week I spoke about the importance of effort in NAPLAN tests. I am very pleased to report that a very high percentage of students have showed very high effort last week! We are looking forward to this continuing for the final week of NAPLAN this week.  Effort is something that we highly value at Staughton. It is effort and not ‘natural ability’ that is usually the greatest determinant of success inside and outside the classroom. Our Staughton Student Matrix shows key behaviours that are seen when students show high effort. A key behaviour for the NAPLAN testing is to continue trying and persevering when challenged. This allows us to use the testing to really accurately target teach students at their point of need.
