Therapists  and other Allied health staff  at Neville Bonner

Sometimes the school receives requests to conduct therapy such as speech therapy at school during school hours. As a school we value partnerships with allied health staff to ensure we are working towards every child's learning goals in partnership with their parents. In order for therapy to be conducted in school time there are various guidelines and procedures that need to be followed. The therapy needs to align with the school learning programs and be at a time that is suitable so that it doesn't interrupt your child's learning at school.  If you would like therapy to be conducted at school, please contact Haeley Simms via the front office, your therapist can also contact the front office. 

We will also sometimes be asked to complete various forms and questionnaires or for observations to occur for psychologists/doctors and other health-based staff. We ask that you give us lots of notice to do these as some of them can be quite lengthy and we want to make sure that we complete them as fairly and accurately as possible.  If you have a form or survey that needs completing it needs to go through Haeley Simms via the front office to make sure we have a central record and can get it back to you in a timely manner. 

Thank you for your understanding in these matters. If you have a questions or concerns regarding disability, you can contact Haeley Simms via the front office as she is our school's nominated Disability Education Contact Officer (DECO). 

When you make an order from our P&C run Scholastic Book Club, a percentage of your total order spend will be given back to the school to help put more books into the school library.  The books below were purchased from Issue 1 2024.

NAPLAN testing will occur in our school between 13 and 25 March 2024 for students in years 3 and 5.

Online NAPLAN tests provide more precise results and are engaging for students. The tests are tailored (or adaptive), which means that each test presents questions that may be more or less difficult depending on a student’s responses. This helps students remain engaged with the assessment. 

Tailored testing allows a wider range of student abilities to be assessed and measures student achievement more precisely. A student’s overall NAPLAN result is based on both the number and complexity of questions they answer correctly. Your child should not be concerned if they find questions challenging; they may be taking a more complex test pathway. 

All Year 3 students will continue to complete the writing assessment on paper.

NAPLAN provides valuable information to schools and parents about literacy and numeracy achievement. It supports school improvement processes by enabling teachers to monitor student progress over time and to identify areas of strength and development. 

All eligible students are encouraged and supported to participate in NAPLAN testing. Visit www.nap.edu.au to see interactive versions of the test and for more information.
