On March 12, we saw students across Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 commence online NAPLAN testing. Students worked incredibly well in completing four tests across the week focusing on writing, reading, language conventions and numeracy. The data gathered through these tests will provide a valuable tool for teachers to analyse areas of strength and weakness for each individual student and allow us, as teachers, to target specific concepts and capabilities in the teaching and learning that occurs in classrooms. Well done to all the students for your great efforts in the NAPLAN tests.

Term 1 Interim reports will be issued at the end of Week 10 to all Secondary students. These reports provide a snapshot of student’s academic progress across the term, as well as indicating their level of engagement in the learning. As part of the new TCS reporting procedures, students will receive an effort grade on reports (see below) to provide an indication for parents and caregivers about their engagement in their learning and their willingness to work with teachers to seek improvement academically.

TCS effort scale:

Call to be… Christ-Like 

Called to live… Mercy
