The <strong>College</strong> each year forwards the individual results of NAPLAN tests<br />

to parents and guardians.<br />

The results over the past three years are very pleasing and reflect the<br />

work that all our teachers and educational support staff undertake in<br />

developing the numeracy and literacy of our students. The Student<br />

Services Department continues to implement programs and strategies<br />

which both support and extend our students’ learning in literacy and<br />

numeracy.<br />

The <strong>College</strong> is also an active member of the CEOM LINC and AGQTP<br />

Programs working closely with other primary and secondary schools in<br />

our region. Our teachers and educational support staff have also been<br />

engaged in various numeracy and literacy professional learning<br />

activities which promote active learning strategies.<br />
