From the Principal cont...
While these results inform us in many ways, it is important
that we do not reduce the measure of a school or a student
to performance in an assessment done every two years. A
student’s performance may, for example, be inhibited by
illness or family disruption ahead of or on the day of the test.
I therefore encourage parents to use the NAPLAN report
in discussions with staff where relevant and to encourage
children in their achievements, recognising every stage of
schooling brings its own unique set of challenges.
Human beings, made in the image of God, demonstrate
amazing capacity to learn, adapt and create, and we should
therefore remain hopeful regarding our children’s future. This
is a message all children need to hear from their parents.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Ps 139:14
UNIFORM CHANGE OVER PERIOD
Please note that the summer uniform change
over period is between 12 – 23 September 2011.
All students should be wearing full summer
uniform when they return to school on 10 October
2011.
Students may wear summer or winter uniform
during these two weeks but not a combination of
summer and winter together.
