May 9, 2012: NAPLAN Testing for Yr 3/5/7
The tests will he held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. You can help by ensuring that your child attends school on time, is well-rested and nourished. Later in the year you will receive a detailed report on your child's achieve-ment in the tests. Even though the NAPLAN tests receive a great deal of public attention it is important to remember that the tests are only a "snapshot" of your child's achievement levels and do not give the full story the successes enjoyed as he or she moves through the education system. At any school which has the child as its focus, no test can measure the moral, spiritual, physical and educational progress made by a child in the years of schooling.
March 28, 2012: Harmony Day Celebrations
Congratulations to everyone involved in making Friday’s Harmony Day activities such a success. Many children wore traditional
dress and looked spectacular.

who put their talents on display and especially to Mr Mark Davidson who brought the whole event together. We are truly
blessed to be part of such a wonderful community.
