To Our Mums...
Special occasions such as Mother's Day are always filled with outings and memorable moments. Sometimes the most precious moments are the quiet times spent together, or receiving heart felt tokens of love and appreciation. Here are some literacy based activites that students might like to complete for their mothers, or perhaps they could be completed together as a family.
A Poem for Mum
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me
Create a special poem for your Mum telling her what makes her special.

NAPLAN - Year 3 and 5
NAPLAN is a national literacy and numeracy assessment of students in Year 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students sit this in May each year and in 2022, St. Raphael's NAPLAN assessment will move to the online platform. NAPLAN assesses the literacy and numeracy skills that students are learning through the school curriculum and is just one aspect of our school's assessment and reporting process.
NAPLAN will begin Tuesday 10th May, 2022.
