NAPLAN Update
This year, Naplan results will be reported using proficiency standards, which replace the previous reporting of student results that used numerical bands and national minimum standards. Students’ results will be measured against four levels of proficiency:
• Exceeding • Strong • Developing • Needs additional support.
Printed copies of individual student reports are expected to be sent to schools for distribution to parents and carers early in Term 3.

Semester 1 Reports
Over the past month, the teachers have been engaged in the extensive process of writing your child’s half-yearly report. Throughout this process, teachers review the data they have gathered about your child throughout the first semester to form an overall picture of their progress in their current year. As teachers, we observe, interact and analyse your child’s performance, and an overall grade will be given for each learning area. Having read through each of these reports and knowing about the progress students have made since the beginning of this year, there is a great deal to celebrate. Thank you to the teachers for preparing these reports. Semester 1 student reports for Years 1 to Year 6 will be sent home to parents and carers via the Compass Parent Portal on Friday 23 June.

Semester 1 - Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences
Thank you to our families who have booked their meeting times. These meetings will run until the end of the term. Below is the current breakdown of our bookings. It would be wonderful if we could reach 100% by the end of the term.
If you cannot attend a meeting this term, teachers are happy to reschedule these meetings for early next term or conduct an interview over the phone. If you are having issues creating a booking, please see your child's class teacher or contact the office.
