Dear Families,

 

Hard to believe it is the end of Summer already! The Autumn nights will make sleeping a bit more comfortable. 

 

OUR SCHOOL VALUES

We believe that values education is an integral part of our school. The school values of Respect, Inclusiveness and being Trustworthy is central to and embedded in the school culture. They guide teachers and students by providing the framework and expectations for the way we act, learn, and interact at Toolamba Primary School.

The number of children who attend breakfast club is steadily growing. It is lovely to see the children enjoying each other's company over a meal. At times, their appetite amazes me. Many thanks to Rachelle Robinson and Nicole Pogue who helped this morning.

NAPLAN

From 2023, NAPLAN will be held earlier in the year to give teachers and parents important information about a student's skills and capability sooner, so that more targeted support can be delivered to improve literacy and numeracy skills throughout the year. NAPLAN is for students in Grades 3 & 5.

In 2023, NAPLAN will be held during Term 1 from Wednesday 15th March to Monday 27th March.
