Music
This term in Music class, our students have been exploring the difference between beat and rhythm. They’ve been identifying different musical notes and their values and also composing their own rhythms.
Class Dojo
Class Dojo is our main platform to communicate with our families. It allows teachers to award points to students for work, effort, behaviour and social skills. Class Dojo is highly engaging and motivating for our students and compliments our School Wide Positive Behaviour Framework. Please note that Class Dojo is a positive system and not a forum to discuss concerns or issues.
If you have a concern please either call the school to make an appointment or see your child’s teacher. If you haven’t received your family code, please speak to your child’s teacher.
NAPLAN
Our Year 3 and 5 students participated in the National Literacy and Numeracy Testing Program in during this term. These tests took place over several days beginning 15/3 till the 27/3. The results of these tests provide information for students, parents, teachers and principals alike concerning the progress of our students, which can be used to support teaching and learning programs.
Individual student performance is shown on a national achievement scale for each assessment. This scale indicates whether the student is meeting expectations for the literacy and numeracy skills needed to participate fully in that year level.
A NAPLAN individual student report will be provided by your child’s school later in the year. If you do not receive a report, you should contact your child’s school.

The students have had fun drawing, mixing, painting, and using clay, to understand how Primary colours make Secondary and Tertiary colours, and their relationship to each other on the colour wheel!
