Welcome to Week Six of Term One.  NAPLAN commences next week for Year 3 and 5 students at our school.  Below is information about NAPLAN including links to the public demonstration site. Anyone can go to this site and participate in the practice test to see what our students do in the NAPLAN tests.  There is also a NAPLAN webinar for parents on Thursday 6 March. This session will provide valuable information on NAPLAN, encourage student participation, and offer tips to support students to do their best.  I encourage parents and caregivers to attend this P&C Queensland NAPLAN webinar by clicking on the link above.

Behaviour Website

• Teachers play an important role in assisting students to understand behaviour expectations, develop and extend their capabilities in self-management and learn acceptable ways of interacting and engaging with others.
• And it is in partnership with the community that all our children come to understand how to behave as a member of a functioning, caring and thriving community.
• With good discipline and respect comes great opportunity.
• This is not something that we develop intentionally – and the behaviour website provides resources that can be used by families and the broader community to support student behaviour and make a positive difference in our whole state.
