From talking to parents and children during this week, many of you enjoyed the time at home or holidaying in many parts of Australia. School council At its meeting on Tuesday School Council elected the office-bearers for the coming year. Annette Mitchell was elected as School Council President, with Scott Turner elected to the role of Vicepresident. Barry Dawson was elected as Chair-person of the Finance Committee. Paula Thynne, Natasha Siryj, Tieman Humphrys and Pip Bain joined the Council for the Parent-Member category, and Andrea Lowe, for the DEECDmember category. These candidates were duly elected and we thank them for their willingness to serve in the capacity of School Councillor. Jodi Wheeler, Michelle Davies, Jill Roche and Mick Quillinan, make up the remainder of School Councillors First people School Council decided that it is appropriate for us to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which our school is built. We will investigate the protocol to allow this recognition to happen in the most appropriate way. 2016 enrolments I have had the great pleasure of meeting prospective new parents during this week. Most of these have been parents of prospective Prep parents, but some with older children. If you have 2016 ‘Preppies’ please formally enrol them as soon as possible. Naplan These national tests of literacy and numeracy skills will be conducted during the week beginning 11th of May. As usual, we don’t intend to make a big ‘fuss’ about this process, ever-mindful of the anxiety some of our children experience during this week. Hopefully the daily media will be more tempered in its reporting than has been the case in previous years of this testing. Once again I will make myself available to ‘supervise’ children completing the tests in the days immediately following the ‘set’ testing days. You should also be aware that I give no credence whatsoever in the validity of using these tests to compare children, schools or school systems. They can, however, be useful for teachers to plan the next level of work in their literacy and numeracy programs.
