Week 4 and there is fun galore

Firstly, congratulations to Melony who came first in her age group at the District Cross Country Championships held last week at Greenbank.

 

 

Next week we will have Naplan tests for Year 7 students in Literacy and Numeracy. 

Next week, the students will undertake the National Literacy and Numeracy tests on Tuesday 14 May (Language conventions and Writing Tests), Wednesday 15 May (Reading) and Thursday 16 May (Numeracy). On these days we ask that students receive a good night sleep before each test day, are well-nourished with a hearty breakfast and plenty of food for throughout the day (students do tend to eat more on these days) and are well-prepared with sharp pencils and erasers. Other materials, such as working out paper, will be provided in class.

 

We encourage our students to give every question a go, to persevere and to try their best at all times.

The students NAPLAN reports will be sent home, usually at the end of Term Three. We stress the importance of keeping these in a safe and known place as high schools will ask for these upon enrolment.

 

On Wednesday 22 May we will celebrate St Bernardine’s Feast Day. On this day, the school celebrates with liturgy at 9am in Siena. We invite parents and friends to stay and join us in this ritual. Throughout the day, every year level will see the “ZimboyZ” performance in Siena and enjoy a sausage sizzle and ice block from the school. Students are permitted to wear free dress on the day but are asked to bring in a gold coin donation to raise money for our Mission appeal.
