Dear Parents,

We hope all mums had a lovely weekend and were spoilt on Sunday. Thank you to the P&C who ran the

Mother’s day stall and the sausage sizzle after cross country.

Mrs Hardy will be away for the next fortnight due to a family issue, she is fine but will not return until

Week 5. Ms Stait will be on Kindergarten during this time.

NAPLAN

NAPLAN started well this week and students have completed 3 of the 4 assessments, with just Maths to

go tomorrow. Well done to all Years 3 and 5 who have tried hard to complete the NAPLAN to the best

of their ability. The new online test has presented a few challenges but overall the whole process went

well. The only written test was Year 3’s writing task which Mrs James administered in the Year 3 room

on Tuesday. Thank you to Mr Dickson who has set up and completed the remaining online tests with the

students.

External Validation

Our executive team completed our External Validation submission yesterday. A panel including a Peer

Principal and a PSL – (Principal Support Leadership) will now read our submission and attend a meeting

at our school on Tuesday 28th May. During this meeting they will discuss our submission and our

judgements against the School Excellence Framework. The work preparing this has been very worthwhile

and a wonderful celebration of just what our school has achieved. We do amazing work at Perthville and

our whole community should be very proud of our students, staff and parents. A great team indeed! An

abridged version of the final report was presented at last night’s P&C meeting.

Community Grant – Please vote from 15th July and spread the word

Girls Hockey Report

Unfortunately the girls’ hockey team was defeated by Orange Small Schools last week which means we

are out of the 2019 knockout. The score (5-1) was not a true reflection of how the girls played. They

tried their best and they were still very competitive throughout the whole game. Many team members

had never played a game of hockey before, so it was great to see them using the skills they had learnt

during training sessions and applying them in the game. Excellent sportsmanship was displayed on the day

and the girls made me very proud! Ms Naylor

Next P&C Meeting – Tuesday 11 June in 5/6 Room

Cross Country – Well done to all Competitors!

Matilda by Roald Dahl

It is about a girl called Matilda who is only 5 years old

gets a power from frustration.

Did you like it and would you recommend it to others? Why?

Yes, it is just as amazing as Matilda. It is very funny and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a
