A number of Year 9 Certificates for NAPLAN Achievements were presented to students to recognise their growth and achievement. Congratulations to Dherk, who achieved high growth and an increase in numeracy proficiency between Year 7 and Year 9, and to Frieda for achieving an exceeding standard and high growth in her reading skills also. Alexander was recognised for demonstrating an exceeding standard in reading as well as demonstrating high growth in reading and numeracy between Year 7 and Year 9. Congratulations also to Charlie and Zaid, who were awarded certificates for achieving high growth and an increase in their reading proficiency from Year 7 to Year 9. It was wonderful to celebrate learning improvement this week and to remind students that hard work and effort pays off in terms of stretching your literacy and numeracy skills.

While NAPLAN is an important annual measure of student learning achievement at a particular point in time, class and subject teachers regularly conduct assessments to measure learning progress across the entire year - please contact your level coordinators or primary class teachers if you would like to discuss NAPLAN results or classroom learning progress further.
