NAPLAN

Parents can find out more information about NAPLAN online at http://www.nap.edu.au We’d especially like to highlight that on this site families can access a “public demonstration” site so they can see what students will access when they do NAPLAN in Term 2.

We hope to see as many families join

us on Wednesday 21st March for our

Harmony Day celebrations.

This year, we are trying something a

bit different, with a shared lunch that

hopefully will include all the delicious

foods that are part of the many

cultures that make up our school

community. Did you know we have

almost 25% of our students who were

born in countries overseas? Families

have joined us from Vietnam, Kenya,

India, Philippines, Iran, Saudi Arabia,

Pakistan, Palestine, Russia, Nepal,

Bangladesh, Brazil, Burma, China,

Indonesia, Ethiopia, Malaysia and

Laos.

At our picnic lunch, students and family

members can sit together and enjoy any of the

food provided. We invite all families to

contribute to sharing lunch. Please return the

portion of the notice that was sent home last

Friday, detailing what shared food you will

provide if you are able to join us.

NAPLAN will be

ONLINE for our year

3, 5 & 7s this year.

Please speak with

Stacey or Cheryl if

you have any queries

regarding your child’s

participation.

Hi all A new venture starts at Marion PS, Wednesday afternoons - around 2.45 is COFFEE. Yes, Fiona O'Connor (Rosie's Mum) of Java Drive will be selling coffee and other drinks from the access drive on the eastern side of the school, commencing 21 March 2018. So when you are coming to pick up your children from school, why not come a little earlier and enjoy the coffee with other parents. Looking forward very much to this. Kind Regards Trevor (PCW) Next Issue: Thursday 29th March, 2018
