For the past two years our school has worked with Dr Rosie Kerin (Literacy Consultant) on literacy strategies. We plan on celebrating the success of all students that demonstrate improvement from their Year 7 to Year 9 results. The NAPLAN tests measure learning growth or improvement from the Year 7 tests to the Year 9 tests. Hopefully through transitioning to online testing parents and teachers will have access to the student results in a timely manner so that the data can be used to support students appropriately with future learning programs. The Year 9 s have patiently trialled the required software and are now ready to complete these assessments. any new process there are always challenges to work through and resolve. An acting Arts and Community Partnerships Coordinator will be announced shortly. We have welcomed Dane Louis as a new Visual Art/Design teacher to our school for the remainder of Dane will be taking Brooke s Visual Art classes whilst Josie Turner will increase her time to take Brooke s Year 8 English class.

We are all looking forward to the benefits of our new learning spaces when this work is completed.
