Dear Parents and Carers,

With our Yr. 3 and Yr. 5 students sitting NAPLAN next week, I have been very conscious of making sure we treat these assessments for what they are. They are an indication of where students sit at one point in time. There can be many variables that impact how students perform on these days. Often NAPLAN does not show the growth that we would expect. Some students do not perform in test situations; but can achieve great results when presented with problems in the way that they learn best. Each and every one of our students has special gifts – not all of them are displayed in a NAPLAN test.

See schedule below – 

Congratulations

Congratulations to Cassie Neiufi and her husband Sami on the birth of their beautiful baby daughter, Delilah. Mum and bub are doing really well.
