How you can support your child

  •    Arrive at school on time. 
  •    Remind your child to fully charge their Ipad each night and have their earphones packed for school.
  •    Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep.
  •    Prepare a healthy breakfast and morning snack. 
  •    Keep your child engaged in activities that will help them keep their mind off NAPLAN. 
  •    Provide lots of positive encouragement and discuss feelings and concerns. 

We wish all students participating the best of luck.
