Crossing Safety

Staff have been working with the Transport Canberra School Safety Program team to improve safety on our school crossings. The new flags and lines have improved visibility immensely.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. 

1. A reminder that when exiting the school driveway during the busy morning and afternoon periods that you must turn left onto Hodgson Cres (not up the hill to the right) and always watch for children on the crossing.
2. On Murphy St, never allow your child to cross the road on their own.
3. Please use the school crossings if walking across Hodgson Cres.

NAPLAN 2023

We are expecting the 2023 NAPLAN results for Years 3 and 5, to arrive early Term 3. Along with the test being completed earlier in the year, there are a few changes to the way the results will be reported to parents.

Information from ACARA about NAPLAN:

• From 2023, NAPLAN results are reported against proficiency standards with 4 levels of achievement to give teachers, parents and carers clearer information on how students are performing.
• Results from 2023 onwards cannot be directly compared with results from 2008-2022 due to the changes.
• The school will then give parents/carers a report showing their own child’s results.
• Parents/carers can talk to the teacher about these results.
• Teachers use results to help identify students who need greater challenges or extra support.
• Schools use results to identify strengths and areas of need to improve teaching programs, and to set goals in literacy and numeracy.
• NAPLAN shows how students are going all over Australia. The community can see information about the performance of schools over time at myschool.edu.au.
