Principal Appraisal
Every four years, Principals in our Diocese take part in a Principal's Appraisal as part of their contract renewal. The Principal Appraisal process is an important platform for affirmation and feedback. My sincere thanks to the staff and parents/carers who completed the survey and provided feedback on my leadership of our school. I also thank the students for providing their valuable feedback.
NAPLAN - Years 3 and 5
Congratulations to our Year 3 and Year 5 students who completed their NAPLAN tests over the last two weeks. The students approached the tests with confidence and focus. It is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents to see how their child is progressing in literacy and numeracy. The information we receive from the results helps us identify trends, areas for future growth and areas for celebration. Any students who missed a NAPLAN test have had the opportunity to catch up this week. Thank you to Mr Green for coordinating the administration of the Naplan tests and to our Year 3 and 5 teachers for their preparation and support.
Assemblies and special events
Parents and family members are always welcome to join us for our Friday afternoon assembly in the hall at 2.20 pm. Please see your Compass notifications, parent calendar or Facebook posts for dates of events, liturgies, and Masses. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Condolences
On behalf of the staff and school community, we wish to convey our sincere condolences to the Gouveia family on the recent passing of their father and husband, Nelson. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. May he rest in peace.
Staffing Update
Mrs Mansbridge is currently on extended sick leave. Please continue to keep Mrs Mansbridge in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers from some major surgery. Mrs Aguis and Mrs Zaffonato will continue to teach Year 2 in Mrs Mansbridge's absence.
Canteen helpers
Thank you so much to those parents who have volunteered to help in our canteen. Currently, we have some volunteers who are away or have family/work commitments. Please let the office know if you are able to lend a hand. Thank you.
