NAPLAN

NAPLAN (National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy) is an annual assessment for Australian students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9, testing foundational skills in reading, writing, conventions of language and numeracy. Conducted this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during Period 1 and 2, it provides a snapshot of student progress against national standards. Students do not need to study they just need to do their best on the day.

Senior Goal Setting

Our senior teachers Mrs Burdon, Mr Collimore and Mrs Clifton will be completing and encouraging our senior students to set Subject and ATAR goals. The quality of the initial goal setting is critical to ensuring the program works effectively and provides meaningful data. I encourage all parents to spend some time with their child to discuss these goals. Looking at previous results, subject teacher feedback, Tutorial booking engagement and overall engagement levels are all indicative of potential achievement.

Campus Quality Rubric

As we continue to strive towards improving our global CQR ranking don’t forget how you can contribute through Stakeholder Engagement. We are aiming for 100% observation of CANVAS, Sentral and weekly SDM checks. We will hold our annual Winter Evening in Term 2 where students will showcase their achievements and goals, but in the interim, here are some questions that may spark dinner table conversation. The goal of the conversation is to encourage ownership, initiative and reflection.

At OneSchool Global AU, all Year 10 students complete the Certificate III in Business as part of their curriculum. This qualification equips students with practical skills in administration, communication, and workplace technology - essential tools for success in senior study, part-time work, and future careers.

Completing the Certificate III in Business helps students develop confidence, organisation, and a professional mindset. It provides a real-world context for learning and gives every student a head start in understanding the business world.

We are proud to offer this program as a core part of Year 10, ensuring all students gain these valuable skills and are prepared for the next stage of their education and beyond. Students who complete all requirements will be awarded the national qualification - Certificate III in Business. Students who are only able to complete part of the qualification will still receive a statement of attainment, providing credit for the units they do achieve.

Your encouragement at home can make a real difference. We encourage parents to support their young person by discussing their learning, celebrating achievements, and encouraging them to apply the skills they are developing. Together, we can help every student succeed and make the most of this valuable qualification.

Javelin has not featured in the Athletics Carnival for several years now, so it was a great opportunity last Friday to brush off the cobwebs and learn some new skills with Mr Collimore. We cannot wait to see Albury students in action in a few weeks. Here are Levanna and Reagen honing their technique!
