FROM THE PRINCIPAL
School Choir Our brand new performance uniforms have now been handed out to the Semitone Choir and they look amazing! The students will wear these for the first �me at the School Fete on Saturday 13 September. A huge thank you to our Choir Captains, Sophie Khan and Ethan Strout, who have spent much of their own �me with Ms Smith unpacking these uniforms ready for distribu�on. Middle Ridge State School hosted a choral evening with our students and TACAPS on Wednesday 29 August, culmina�ng in a concert which was very well received by the audience. Our students were excep�onally well-behaved and great ambassadors for our school. Congratula�ons to everyone involved. NAPLAN Preliminary Results Preliminary NAPLAN results were received last week. Once again, Toowoomba East State School students performed strongly. As you are aware, our school received significant posi�ve media a2en�on for our 2017 NAPLAN results. While we have not received such recogni�on this year, I am pleased to inform you that the Mean Scale Score for our students has increased in almost every area tested, as has the percentage of students placed in the Upper Two Bands. In Reading, a school priority, over two-thirds of our Year 5 students and more than 70% of our Year 3 students were placed in the Upper Two Bands. These results are a reflec�on of the dedica�on of our teaching staff and the applica�on of our student group. None of this would be possible without support from home and I thank you for this sincerely. We have not yet received individual student reports. Once these arrive, they will be distributed to families.
