30 Apr 2017
The school's cross country carnival will be held on Wednesday 3 May. All students will run with kindy and year 1 students running with 4/5/6 students. Those turning 8 and over in 2017 will run and their races will be timed to allow them to qualify for the South Sydney zone cross country carnival to be held on 24 May. The kinder weather over the holiday should have had a chance to dry the oval out. We hope the rain will hold off until next week.

The tests are a point in time test designed to assess where a students learning is at a particular time. The learning assessed is literacy and numeracy concepts taught over their entire time at school. All tests this year will be paper tests. This coming week, year 3 and 5 students will receive some instruction and a chance to practise doing the papers. This will help them when it comes to taking the tests next week.
