Transition Survey 2022-2023

This year, we have put together a survey to help the smooth transition of students across our school from their current year level to their 2023 year level. The survey includes some questions that would give us information we thought important for each child's 2023 teacher to know.

Included in the survey are three questions to get to know your child's strengths, interests and learning habits and one question for you to express your wishes for you child's education next year. We would love as many parents or carers to complete this survey as possible.

This is just one part of our thorough transition process. We will provide details about other transition opportunities as the term advances. 

Please find the transition survey as a Google Form at the following link:

Christmas Raffle

Yesterday, each family (via the eldest sibling) should have received one booklet of 10 raffle tickets to sell to neighbours, friends or broader family. Each ticket costs $2. Tickets can be paid with either cash or on the QKR app. If the raffle tickets are purchased on QKR, please ensure that you enter the child's name and the numbers on the raffle ticket booklet. At the end of the year all raffle tickets must be reutrned to the school so we can account for them. The prizes are below:

1st Prize: $1,000

2nd Prize: $500

3rd Prize: $250 

All funds that we raise will go directly to the upgrade of our outdoor learning space. 

The raffle will be drawn at our end of year Christmas Carols and Picnic on Tuesday 6th December. 

All raffle ticket booklets (sold or not) need to be returned to the Front Office by Friday 2nd December (Week 8). 

If at any time you would like more raffle tickets to sell, please either email me or come to the front office to collect more. 

Thank you in advance for your continued support. 

Year 6 NAP ICT Literacy Sample Assessment

On Monday 17th October, a group of 20 randomly selected students from Year 6 will participate in an ICT Literacy sample assessment which is an assessment within the National Assessment Program. Over October and November 2022, samples of Year 6 and Year 10 students in all Australian states and territories will participate in the ICT Literacy (NAP–ICT Literacy) sample assessment.

The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) is responsible for developing and overseeing the National Assessment Program. ACARA’s contractor, the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is responsible for developing the assessment and administering it in all participating schools. The NAP–ICT Literacy assessment measures and reports on the ability of students to use ICT appropriately and safely to access, manage and evaluate information; develop new understandings; apply computational, design and systems thinking to create solutions; communicate and collaborate with others; and engage productively with emerging and future technologies.

If your child is in Year 6 and you would not like your child to participate in this assessment, please contact me over the weekend.

2023 Fete

The Community Council is beginning to prepare for the 2023 Fete. We are currently looking for some volunteers to run the Plant Stall. This role would include growing or acquiring plants for the Plant Stall and running the Plant Stall on the day of the Fete. Please contact me if you would be interested in running the Plant Stall.

We are also starting to collect second hand books for the book store and clean plastic or glass jars for the Tombola store. If you have any of these items at home please feel free to drop them into the Front Office.

Boorowa Touch and Netball Carnival - Cancelled

Due to the excessive rain the organisers of the Boorowa Touch and Netball Carnival have decided to cancel the carnival for 2022. They are unable to prepare the fields to an acceptable level that will ensure the safety of the participants.
