School News:
From our Classrooms:
It has been a busy time in Kindergarten over the last few weeks. The children have been working very hard learning lots of new things.
In Mathematics, the children have been learning about wholes and halves. They have been folding and cutting different 2D shapes as they explore this concept.
Good Samaritan Catholic Primary School will be providing students in Years 3-6 the opportunity to participate in external quality curriculum assessments.
The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) is an independent, quality skills-based assessment program which rewards and recognises achievement. ICAS gives you broad insights into your child’s performance across English, Mathematics and Writing.
ICAS Assessments are now online, a move that reflects a sector-wide transition to online assessments. This allows greater accessibility for students and faster delivery of results.
Learn more about ICAS here: https://www.icasassessments.com/products-icas
This year our school has signed up for the ICAS Assessments parent payment system (PPS) for English, Mathematics and Writing. Through this system parents can pay for ICAS directly online while tests will still be held at our school.
Within the next few weeks you will receive more information regarding how to register.
