Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

Once again I would like to thank you for your understanding last week in regards to our lack of phones and water.  We appreciate in particular Friday was tricky and we are very grateful for your support.

Drop Off and Pick Up Zone.

To ensure all of our children are kept safe, I would like to take this opportunity to remind people of how this area works.

If using this designated yellow drop off zone children are expected to exit the car from the left hand side directly on to the curb.  Bags should be in the car with the children. Children should not be opening boots and getting bags out as this puts them in harm's way if a car behind them was to not stop or the driver was to accidentally put their foot on the accelerator. 

Ensure children exit the car once you have entered the designated drop off area.  We have children exiting and entering cars back at the disabled car parks or earlier which is also putting them potentially in harm's way.

To ensure the traffic flows once your children have exited your car safely please pull out into the first through lane.

If you need to access bags from the boot, we ask that you please park.  Please then use the footpath and zebra crossing to get to Gate B for access to the school grounds.

NAPLAN FOR YEAR 3s AND YEAR 5s 

This year NAPLAN is occurring from March 15th through to March 27th. It is an online assessment that occurs nationally each year for grades 3, 5, 7 and 9. Each child that sits these tests receives a copy of their results measuring where they sit against the State and National grade level cohort. The school uses the data from this testing to measure teacher impact and inform future planning.

NAPLAN is a national literacy and numeracy assessment that students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sit each year. It is the only national assessment all Australian students have the opportunity to undertake.  NAPLAN information for parents and carers brochure is available on the VCAA website. It is available in a range of languages.
