MAPLE SUPPORTING STUDENT WELL BEING

Maple continues to work hard supporting the wellbeing of students at St John’s. She has visited many classrooms, interacting with lots of students. To the credit of the children they continue to follow our three expectations:

• Say hello to the person and not the dog
• Make space for Maple
• Keep moving, don’t stop and stare

Maple has supported students in a variety of ways and continues to provide positive experiences during her interactions.

NAPLAN

Each year the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is undertaken by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students will participate in tests for writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. 

NAPLAN is just one part of our school learning assessment program. The tests assess literacy and numeracy skills your child is already learning at school.

Our Years 3 & 5 students will complete NAPLAN over the next week. The schedule is below:

With the assistance of parents and carers, we would ask that the children’s iPad’s be fully charged on the morning of these days. They also require their headphones as well. 

We are thinking of our Year 3 & 5 students over the coming week as they demonstrate their knowledge and skills in literacy and numeracy.
