Assistant Principal's Report
Hello everyone. I hope this newsletter finds you healthy and happy.
PB4L
Our PB4L focus for the past fortnight has been I Wear my Uniform with Pride. Students have been given surfboard tokens when they are “caught” displaying this skill. As we have our Harmony Day celebrations today, our Class and Principal’s Awards will be given out on Monday morning.
The main areas of concern with uniform are shoes and socks. Another reminder that shoes are to be an all-black leather jogger and socks are to be all black crew socks – not ankle socks. We will continue to monitor uniform over the course of the year,
Attendance
Please ensure that school is notified if your child is absent. This can be done on the Compass app or by phoning or emailing the school office.
Attendance at school is mandatory. If a student misses 1 day of school a week, they are missing almost 1 whole term of learning! Our school day starts at 8.50am and students should be at school by this time.
NAPLAN
The NAPLAN testing window closes on Monday, March 24th. Students who were absent on testing days will be caught up on Monday if they are back at school. Some catch up testing was completed today. If students are still absent on Monday, they will miss the testing window.
The year 3 and year 5 students have completed tests in writing, reading, language conventions and numeracy. The data we receive from these tests, as well as data from other sources, helps us to plan for future learning experiences, pedagogy and assessment.
