NAPLAN

Last week our Year 7 and 9 students participated in the online NAPLAN testing.  These are nationwide tests in numeracy and literacy.  The tests were carried out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  We would like to congratulate the Year 7 and 9 students for their efforts in, and behaviour during, these tests.  The results of the NAPLAN testing will be sent home in the form of a report.  As we completed these online we should receive results sooner rather than later this year.

SEMESTER REPORTS

Semester 1 Reports will be posted home during the last week of this term.  Please ensure the College has the correct mailing address.  Contact the office to make this change.

TUTORIALS

Just a reminder that tutorials run Thursday afternoons from 3:15pm-4:15pm.  All students are more than welcome to attend.

ASSESSMENT POLICY

Just a short reminder that students who know in advance that they will be absent on the day of an exam, or the day an assignment is due, need to see the class teacher PRIOR to that date.  Other arrangements need to be made for the submission of the assessment and the earlier teachers receive this information, the better!  Our College policy grants consideration for students who are ill or unable to complete exams and assignments due to other exceptional circumstances; however other commitments and early holidays are scenarios where assessment is still expected to be submitted on or before the due date.  Remember it may be possible to email assessment in, however, this must be negotiated with the teacher.

ICAS TEST

Permission slips will be sent home in the coming week for students sitting the ICAS tests.  Please indicate if you child will be sitting the tests and which tests they will be sitting.  We will be sitting the English, Maths and Science test.
