Transition Program

Last Wednesday our Year 10 students and staff went to Guilford Young College for their Careers Expo. Representatives from UTAS, TAFE, industry, apprenticeship and traineeship employers, Australian Defence Force, Tasmanian Police, Tasmanian Ambulance Service and more were in attendance.  Students had the time to roam through the various stalls and to spend time collecting information, resources and ask questions. It is the first of our transition experiences for the year.

NAPLAN

Earlier in the week, our Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 students completed their practice NAPLAN tests, which was in addition to the practice sessions run in Term Four last year.  No results will be published for these practice tests.

NAPLAN is moving completely online in 2019 from the previously used paper-based assessments. It is hoped that NAPLAN Online will provide better assessment and more precise results. The assessment feature a tailored test design where the questions a student receives will depend on their answers to previous questions.

Actual testing for NAPLAN will be held from 14 - 24 May.  We are confident that our students will be well prepared for the test itself and to take the test online. 

If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact me:  kim.schade@mountcarmel.tas.edu.au
