Greetings to our Bellmere Community,

NAPLAN Testing – Year 3 and 5

I have been proud of the students who were sitting the NAPLAN tests this week for their focus and determination, but this goes for any learning tasks in any other learning experience also.

Results will be sent to parents later in the year.

Communication between parents and children during the school day

Just a quick reminder that communication between parent and child during the school day should occur only through the office or through a teacher. We have had a number of instances where children have been messaging and calling their parents through the day from their iPads. Students have been reminded of this expectation also. Please have this conversation with them at home to remind them to seek support from a staff member if they wish to speak with you. Thank you in advance.
