Welcome all families to Week 3!
This week finds our beautiful school humming along to the tune of engaging learning activities and opportunities where our students are using the SHPS learning habits Engage, Focus Collaborate and Reflect to become effective in the process of learning both in and out of the classroom.
Our Year 3 and 5 students will complete NAPLAN tests in reading, writing, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy on 11, 12 and 13 May.
The assessment provides parents and schools with an understanding of how individual students are performing at the time of the tests. NAPLAN is just one aspect of a school’s assessment and reporting process – it does not replace ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance. NAPLAN also provides schools, education authorities and governments with information about how education programs are working and whether young Australians are achieving important educational outcomes in literacy and numeracy. For more parent/carer information go to https://nap.edu.au/docs/default-source/resources/naplan-online-information-brochure-for-parents-and-carers.pdf
Good luck to the PSSA Girls and Boys Soccer teams who head to Toormina today to represent their school out on the field and thank you to those parents who could assist with transporting of students.
Also out on the cross country track on Friday will be those runners competing at the Zone Cross Country event demonstrating grit and determination once again.
The P&C are holding a Mother’s Day Stall on Thursday 6 May for students to purchase gifts for the special people in their lives which will be set up outside the canteen where students will be able to purchase at least one gift prices ranging from between $3 - $8.
The new SHPS fence construction is due to begin on 10 May. The school will be re-purposing some fencing panels within the school grounds but would like to spread the word to anyone who would need these galvanised fencing panels. The fence panels can also be used horizontally to create shelving. Please contact the school with any interest in purchase of fence panels.
It is also exciting to announce that we are permitted to hold the Spring Fair this year which is a wonderful community event highly anticipated on the school calendar.
Save the date: Scotts Head Public School Spring Fair 15 October 4-7pm
