ACARA Item Trial
Thank you to our Year 7 and Year 9 students who participated in the ACARA Item Trial this week. The Invigilator was very impressed with your commitment and engagement with the trial. The Trial involved our students completing NAPLAN-style Reading and Numeracy tests which tested possible questions for future NAPLAN tests. Our students were able to identify any errors with the questions such as spelling, grammar or unclear language and their sample responses will be used to verify the validity, reliability and accessibility of these proposed test questions.
Messages for our Year 9 Families
Mr Dunn and I will soon be commencing the Pathways Preparation Plan (PPP) process with all Year 9 students.
This begins with an overview of Senior Schooling pathways and opportunities for our students. We will discuss what is required to be successful in Year 10 and beyond; alongside the three different pathways that are open to students from Year 10.
- Academic Pathway
- Workforce Pathway
- Blended Pathway
Students then have the opportunity to work through their PPP Booklet that is required to be completed prior to their PPP Meeting early in Term 3.
This information is also shared with parents and carers as part of our upcoming Career Expo on Monday 9th June.
Parents and carers are welcome to explore the stalls from 3:00pm and then attend the PPP Information Session at either 5:00pm or 5:30pm.
