NAPLAN RESULTS

NAPLAN results have been sent home with your Year 3 and / or Year 5 child today. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

Student Medical Forms

During Terms 3 and 4 we will be updating our medical records systems to ensure we have the most up-to-date information on your child’s health.

If you have a child with a medical condition you will receive a copy of the new forms and you will need to fill them out and return them to us as soon as you can.

The new forms will help us to collect your child’s important medical information and the introduction of the new systems will mean we’ll be able to better manage the daily and emergency health needs of your child.

We appreciate your support as we start collecting the information, and if you have any questions please call.

Blue Mountains Dance Festival

During Week 8 the senior girls, junior girls and boys dance groups all performed at the Blue Mountains/Nepean Dance Festival, performing at the matinee performance on Monday and then again on Thursday night at the Joan Sutherland Centre. Each of the three groups all put on fantastic performances on both occasions and looked outstanding on the stage.

Well done to all of the dances on both of their performances and excellent behaviour while representing our school! A big congratulations to you all.

Thank you again to all of the parents for bringing their children to the Joan Sutherland Centre on Thursday night and for all of those who came to support us.
