NAPLAN 2023
Congratulations to all Year 7 and Year 9 students who have completed 3 NAPLAN tests this week. Our final NAPLAN Numeracy Test is occurring during Period 1 on Monday 20th March.
Please ensure your child brings a fully charged laptop and headphones to school on Monday to finalise the NAPLAN program for this year.
We expect to receive student results in the second half of Term 2 and will distribute to parents once received.

Term 1 Interim Report Cards
Term 1 Interim Report Cards will be issued to parents/carers via email on Friday 31st March. Please ensure you are regularly checking the Daymap Parent Connect Portal for your child's assessment due dates, drafting feedback and final assessment results. The Term 1 Report card makes an interim judgement based upon your student's progress towards assessment at this juncture.
Please contact your child's teacher via Daymap message or email with any questions or concerns about Term 1 assessment results or your child's ongoing progress.
Parent Teacher Interviews
Your first opportunity to meet with your student's teachers is on Wednesday 26th April from 3:00pm - 7:00pm. Directional signs will be in place to direct all visitors to the interview venue in J Block.
Our students are encouraged to join their parents/carers for these interviews to discuss Term 1 achievements and Semester 1 goals. Parent/Teacher Interviews are also a great opportunity to discuss future Subject Offerings with the specialist teachers.
If you are unable to attend Parent/Teacher Interviews or your child's teachers are booked out, phone interviews are available from Monday 24th - Friday 28th April. These can be arranged directly with relevant teachers. Please contact the College via phone or email to be connected with your child's teachers.
Bookings will open on the first day of Term Two (Monday 17th April) via Daymap. All parents and carers will be notified via email and social media once bookings are open. If you are experiencing any technical issues please contact tech@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au for assistance.
