Principal’s Message Dear Parent/Carers,

NAPLAN Online Well done to all Year 3 and 5 students for completing the NAPLAN test

over the past 2 weeks. We must remember that these are assessments of

Literacy and Numeracy skills at a point in time. They provide the

government and educational services with insights around how our

students’ skill development is tracking.

Thank you to Mrs Kumar and Ms Bryce for having all the devices ready for the students and ensuring the smooth running of all the tests each day. COVID-19

As Australia continues to enjoy a relatively stable period in relation to

COVID-19 our thoughts go out to those around the world, in particular

for those in India who continue to be impacted by this pandemic. After

speaking with many Concord West families with Indian backgrounds, it is

devastating to hear that many of your family members and friends are

still struggling. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all families and friends

back home.

We take so much for granted and need to be thankful each day that we

are blessed to live in Australia.

Teacher appreciation week

Last week I visited all the classrooms and discussed what being ‘grateful’

and ‘being appreciative’ means with the students. In recognition of

Teacher Appreciation Week in May, I am confident that you will join me

in thanking all the staff for their hard work, care and commitment, which

they generously share and give each and every day.

School Improvement Plan

During the last 12 months each Government school has been working on developing a comprehensive Strategic

Improvement Plan (SIP). On our website, under the School Planning and Reporting tab, you will find Concord

West’s 2021-2024 Strategic Improvement Plan. This is a working document that outlines how Concord West will

further improve learning, teaching and leading in order to improve learning outcomes and growth of all students.

Rugby Australia

Concord West has been successful at receiving a Government grant from Sporting Schools NSW. This funding will

be used to give Year 2-6 students an opportunity to work with Rugby Australia on further developing the

students’ fundamental skills, teamwork and game sense. If you do not wish to have your child be involved in these

inclusive, safe and fun activities, please contact your child’s teacher.

Wishing you all a restful weekend. Ms Monica Cidem
