After our short break, the students in Year 5 and Year 6 have returned to school today and settled into routine quickly. 

Year 6 Swimming

The Year 6 classes attended their first swimming lesson today and enjoyed the opportunity to be in the water rather than watching it fall from the sky.

Year 5 NAPLAN

Our Principal, Scott Medford recently sent an all parents of Year 3 and Year 5 students an email regarding our decision to delay the start of the NAPLAN testing. This decision was made because we believe your child’s welfare is the most important thing and we want our students to be back in the school routine to set them up for success before we begin testing.  We are doing everything we can to reassure students that NAPLAN is a normal part of school, and that participating and just trying your best are the most important things. We appreciate your help in reinforcing these messages at home. Should you have any concerns or questions about NAPLAN please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or myself.

Year 6 Camp

Year 6 students have until the end of next week, Friday March 21 to commit to camp with a $50 deposit. Once out final numbers are determined a decision can be made, in consultation with the staff at Camp Goodenough, whether we have enough students to proceed with this camp.  If our numbers are adequate, we will send out a note with more information and the final cost.
