The end of year concert is Tuesday of week 9. Please start planning your items for the evening. Do not leave it until the last minute. I would like each class to do an item of their own to showcase talents. It will also be an open evening when reports will be given out.
 * __End of year Concert__**

Please see Robin if you need any items ordered for the end of year concert or for your christmas crafts by the end of week 2 as the budget will close in week 3. Please email Robin any items you will require for next year over the value of $200 so we can order it ready for the new term.

Students will recieve their NAPLAN reports this week. I will ask Cathy and Erin to cordinate this. I suggest that teachers of these students set up meetings with parents to discuss progress made.
 * __NAPLAN reports__**

These reports are due by the end of week 7. You should have started planning a timeline also all evidence files must be completed now so use this evidence to help make your judgements. As far as i am aware there are no major changes and you will need to use the Progress maps as a guide.
