NAPLAN RESULTS

Last week we learnt that Toolamba PS was ranked 13th in Regional Victoria for their five-year trend data in NAPLAN. This is certainly something that the school community should be very proud of. 

PHILLIP ISLAND CAMP -14TH-16TH December

Next week Grade 3-6 students have the wonderful opportunity to attend an additional camp for the year. Buses will depart at 9:00am on Wednesday morning and return at 4pm on Friday.

I am certainly very appreciative of those teachers who have volunteered to go on camp to enable this camp to take place.

Students will be travelling to Echuca on Thursday. I’m sure they will have a wonderful day.
