Dear Parents, Welcome to week 2 of term 2 2018. I hope that you all had an amazing holiday and are now ready for another great term. It was so nice seeing all the students on day two with smiles on their faces and saying hello and good morning. It makes our day! I would greatly appreciate your assistance during the week and over the weekends in protecting our school. We have had a few break and enters into the school which caused some minor damage. If you happen to be going past the school and you see people inside the grounds which you consider to be suspicious, please do not hesitate in contacting the local police on 9607 1799. We appreciate your support. Next week (week 3) our amazing year 3 and 5 students will be sitting for the NAPLAN test. The test will run across three days starting on Tuesday the 15 th May and ending on Thursday 17 th May. In terms of the tests, each child will be assessed in areas of Literacy and Numeracy. Each test will be conducted in the child’s classroom. In leading up to the testing program, I would like to take this opportunity of saying how important it is that your child has a nutritious breakfast on the days of the testing. Please be supportive of your child and emphasize to them to simply do their best. I look forward to sharing the results of these tests in term 3 this year. All the very best to all of our children who will be sitting for NAPLAN in 2018. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all of the wonderful Mothers in our school community. With Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, I do hope that you have a wonderful and beautiful day. You all deserve to be treated with the greatest respect in terms of what you do for your children. I hope that you all have a wonderful day and be spoilt throughout the day. Celebrate well and enjoy!! Have a great week!!
