Thir‐teen students will be participating in the Schools’ Spectacular in Sydney on the 25th November. The school year ends with our annual Presentation Night on Thursday 15th December. The last day of school is Friday 16th December. It was a privilege to write Good Newslet‐ters to parents at the end of Term 3. Stu‐dents who consistently perform and do their best deserve recognition. NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) results have been mailed to parents. The results for Years 3, 5, 7, & 9 are positive and show an improvement in students learning. To discuss your child’s results please make an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher or any of our executive. I am available for appointments. Teachers will be meeting to discuss indi‐vidual results next term.

Parents, how do you think our school is going?

Please take a break, with a cuppa, and spare 5 minutes or so to complete our online survey. The information you give will help us to report to the Department of Education on the effectiveness of the initiatives we have introduced this year.
