NAPLAN Results
We recently received NAPLAN results for our current Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 cohorts. Individual results have been mailed out to families.
Our students’ results again have been of an exceptionally high standard, with all median results above and more often well above state and national standards. Of the four proficiency standards, most of our students fell into the upper two bands of Strong and Exceeding across all domains.
We are celebrating the fact that 55 of our Year 9 students were awarded Certificates of Achievement by VCAA this year. These acknowledge students who have excelled into the Exceeding Band for either Reading or Numeracy (or both) in the recent NAPLAN tests. 29 of those 55 students received certificates in both domains. This is a testament to both their learning in our Junior Schools, in many instances, and the fine teaching and learning taking place in our English, Maths and broader classes in Middle School.
Your child’s NAPLAN results are a snapshot of their progress at a given point in time and all individual NAPLAN test results should be considered alongside broader school-based assessments, which provide a more detailed picture of the whole child and their progress across many streams.
VCE Subject Selection Showcase, Monday 11 August
Our VCE Subject Showcase Evening for Years 9 and 10 students took place on Monday 11 August. Subject selection for our Years 7-11 students is an online process and will close next Monday 18 August.
Parents are reminded that it is not possible to meet all student preferences during the subject allocation process, due to the constraints of timetabling and blocking based on an overview of all students’ choices.
Secondary Student Progress Meetings
Afternoon Student Progress Meetings will be on-campus at school between 4.00pm – 8.00pm on Wednesday 3 September, followed online sessions from 4.00pm – 8.00pm on Monday 8 September.
There will then be a full day of Secondary Student Progress Meetings online on Tuesday 9 September from 9.00am to 4.00pm. Secondary students will not attend school on this day but will, instead, be expected to complete non-contact asynchronous work at home left for them on the portal by their subject teachers that day. Students are expected to take a break from their work and log in to these Teams meetings with their parents.
Further information regarding the booking arrangements for these events will be forthcoming in the near future and bookings for Progress Meetings will open on Wednesday 27 August. The teachers look forward to meeting with both students and parents to discuss your child’s progress.
