College Council

The College Council meeting will be held this Thursday evening, the 19th May.

NAPLAN

Over Weeks 3 and 4, students in Years 7 and 9 will be joining their peers from across the country in participating in the National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).

Unlike previous years, this year students will complete NAPLAN in their regular class groupings and through accessing an online platform. A number of classes participated in practice NAPLAN activities in Term 1, and based on the feedback from those involved, we feel completing the tasks in this way will amount to a less overwhelming and more comfortable experience for the students overall.

NAPLAN provides individual students with a snapshot on how they are progressing with their development of core skills in literacy and numeracy, as they progress through their school years. The data gathered through this process can also provide teachers with greater insight to how they can assist the learning outcomes of their students, through the provision of individual adjustments and supports.

We will share more information about the NAPLAN processes for students, parents and carers on Compass. But please don’t hesitate to contact us for any information or concerns.

As with anything, we certainly don’t wish for any of our students to feel overwhelmed by the idea and experience of NAPLAN completion – we just ask that everybody embraces this challenge to their full potential, and makes the best of it.
