A Message from the Principals
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for all
students in Years 3 and 5. It tests the types of skills that are essential for every child to progress through
school and life, in reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and numeracy. The assessments are
undertaken nationwide, testing will take place next week.
The in term swimming program concluded last week. Well done to all the students who participated and thank
you to all the teachers for their efforts in supporting this essential program and helping to minimise any
disruption. The certificates will be sent home shortly. Whilst the timetable returns to the more usual routines
and classes, there will still be some disruptions to the days this term with various excursions, sporting fixtures
and other events.
With swimming over for the year, the school will resume its assemblies each Friday morning. The first
assembly for the term will be the Junior Assembly (PP – Yr 4) on Friday this week, starting at 9.00am. I look
forward to seeing a lot of parents and families at the event to celebrate with those students who have gained
merit awards.
For the first four weeks of this term Mr Paul Grundy is on Long Service Leave. He will return in week five of
this term. While he is away Mrs Sharon Albers – Smith will continue to ensure the smooth running of the
school. Mrs Teresa O’Connell will be in the Deputy role during this time. Each Wednesday Mr Wong will
relieve Mrs Stanbridge in the Deputy role. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if we can help in any
way.
