RACQ Streets Ahead Visit
The RACQ Community and Education Team will be delivering the RACQ Streets Ahead road safety lessons to Prep to Year 2 students next Monday 18th – Wednesday 20th March.
If you would like to reinforce and extend your child’s learning of pedestrian, passenger and riding safety, you can access Resource Packs with different age-appropriate activities in each. In addition to these packs, there are also four educational videos demonstrating the strategies taught for Prep – Year Two students. These resources will assist you to continue teaching road safety, implementing the strategies your children will learn, and applying them to your everyday lives.

NAPLAN
As our bright Year 3 and Year 5 stars prepare to shine in the NAPLAN assessments this Wednesday to Friday, we want to extend our heartfelt wishes for success and confidence to every student. Remember, parents, the most powerful way you can support your children during this time is by fostering a reassuring environment. Ensuring they have a consistent bedtime routine for a good night's sleep and starting their day with a nutritious breakfast can tremendously impact their focus and performance (not only for NAPLAN of course, but every day of school).
It's important to remember that NAPLAN is just one piece of assessment and it does not define the full spectrum of each child's unique talents and abilities. Every student shines in their own way and has their own individual strengths. Whether it be in creative arts, sports, leadership, or empathy towards others—every child has a special gift to offer. As parents and educators, our role is to support and nurture these varying talents, ensuring our children know they are valued for who they are, not just their test scores.
This is our testing time. After this period we will be going back to regular teaching and learning.
