LATEST LOCKDOWN

Thank you to all families who supported their children in remote and flexible learning from home. Thank you to teachers who quickly responded to the sudden lockdown and were ready to swing into action with Google classrooms and Webex meetings. Teachers and support staff were able to provide a great program for on-site learners here at school as well. Many families received packs which were hand delivered by staff as well.

If you have feedback (good or bad) about how we manage during lockdowns and what you’d like to see if it becomes necessary again, please feel free to email me. Suzanne.Kinnersly@education.vic.gov.au.

NAPLAN ONLINE – SCHOOL READINESS TEST

Next year we have been asked by the VCAA NAPLAN test administrators that our students submit NAPLAN tests online, using a secure website. In order to ensure the school’s capacity to participate, we are testing the system later this term. All students in Year 2 and Year 4 will be given the chance to try the online system. The emphasis is on technical readiness. Any test questions and answers posed will have no bearing but will give children the opportunity to experience how the test will be conducted. Once again if you have any concerns please contact me at Suzanne.Kinnersly@education.vic.gov.au.

FEEDBACK-PARENT OPINION SURVEY

Many parents and carers were invited to participate in the Parent Opinion Survey. Please complete the survey as soon as possible. The feedback is very specific to our school (as opposed to the wider Department of Education) and we take the feedback very seriously. It informs school procedures and policies and shapes our strategic plan.
