CONGRATULATIONS

Dear Families, Firstly I would like to thank everyone, especially Deb Inglis for

filling the gap whilst I was away unwell. Not only did many of the staff

undertake their usual daily roles but also picked up extra duties to cover

my absence.

NAPLAN TESTING

Congratulations to both the staff and student involved with the

NAPLAN testing last week. An enormous amount of time and work goes

into preparing for this and from all accounts it ran very smoothly.

All of the students who sit the testing did an amazing job and I

am sure our results will reflect the preparation and effort that has been

put in.

MATHLETICS

Congratulations to the students who are working really hard in

Mathletics, the number of awards being achieved and outcomes are

fantastic. Mathletics can be accessed at home and all children know

their passwords to log in, so get on line and practice your challenges

and see if you can achieve extra awards and set a new class and school

record!!

SCHOOL COUNCIL

This months meeting for School Council was held on Tuesday

evening with a fantastic turnout of members. There is some really

exciting things in the planning at School Council level and thank you to

the enthusiastic parents who make it possible.

This week has been education week and congratulations to

many of our classes and students who have participated in a ‘Popup

Classroom’ activity. The Popup Classrooms have been conducted down
