From the Assistant Principal
Dear Parents and Carers,
Inquiry Exhibition Friday 3 November
We can’t wait to show off our learning! We warmly invite parents, carers and families to our Inquiry Exhibition on Friday 3 November. Our Exhibition this term is a celebration of our learning and teaching in HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences). Students will present their inquiry journey and speak to visitors about their learning.
Classrooms will be open from 1:55pm to 2.30pm and entry is through the Front Office. You are encouraged to maintain social distance wherever possible, and to stay home if you’re not feeling well. Parents are welcome to take their children home after their visit by signing them out at the Front Office.
TIMMS – Year 4Some of our Year 4 students will be randomly selected to take part in the Main Study of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). TIMSS is an important educational research project investigating student achievement in mathematics and science. More than 60 countries, including Australia, are participating in this study. TIMSS is an important activity to keep us informed about how our students in Australia are performing in comparison to their peers in other countries. We are also able to use the data to compare programs of study and teaching practices. We will be able to obtain current national and international information which will help improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and science in our country.
Selected students will do an assessment in mathematics and science in Week 6, and complete a questionnaire about their experiences at home and school. There is no need for students to study specifically for the assessment as it will not affect individual students’ grades or progress in school.
All data will be kept strictly confidential and no individual student or school will be identified in published data or reports.
