NAPLAN
 

Parent Webinar

For some parents, NAPLAN can be a mystery and even a cause for concern. The Queensland Joint Parent Committee is offering a free online webinar for parents this Wednesday 19 February from 7.00pm-8.00pm. During this webinar experts will explain NAPLAN and help to address potential parent concerns and provide tips for parents when discussing NAPLAN with their child.

Please refer to the attached flyer for further information.

NAPLAN Information

Year 7 and Year 9 students will sit the NAPLAN online tests during the national defined test window of Wednesday 12 March – Monday 24 March. There will be an opportunity for students to participate in a practice test leading into the testing period on Wednesday 26 February in one of their scheduled lessons for the day.

The table below outlines the test timetable. A more detailed schedule outlining class and period for testing will be available in Sia news from week 5. Catch up test sessions will be held on alternate days to the schedule below for absent students to sit the missed tests.

 If you have any concerns about NAPLAN or if you wish to withdraw your student from NAPLAN testing, please contact Mrs Megan Munckton, Dean of Middle School, megan_munckton@rok.catholic.edu.au 

Please note: all students MUST have corded headphones or earphones to undertake the NAPLAN Online testing. This is the responsibility of families to ensure that students have their earphones or headphones for all test days, including the practice test. 

If you wish to visit the NAPLAN public demonstration site it can be accessed at:  www.nap.edu.au/naplan/public-demonstration-site.  A NAPLAN information brochure is attached for your information. 

myQCE Portal Account

All Year 11 and 12 students by now should have registered for a myQCE Portal account to enable access to their Student Learning Account.  Most Shalom students registered for their account during the Personal Futures Day in Year 10.

Students can set up this account by following the link and instructions on the QCAA myQCE page:  https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/. Note students will need to have a private email address (not rokstu.catholic.edu.au) and their LUI number to be able to register. Students can access their LUI number on their SIA page.

If your student has not yet set up their account or is having difficulty, please have them contact Mrs Aplin for assistance.

Year 12 Exam Block – Monday 24 - Wednesday 26 February

Year 12 students will participate in an exam block from Monday 24 – Wednesday 26 February. The Exam Timetable for this exam block is attached. Students participating in this exam block will undergo Unit 3 assessment. This assessment is summative and as such will contribute towards the ATAR score. Students need only attend school for the exams that they are sitting in this period. 

During the exam block, students not involved in exams are expected to be involved in home study. Students who are behind in their schoolwork may also be required to attend school to complete outstanding work. If this is required, these arrangements will be communicated by individual class teachers. 

Please remember that normal school rules regarding uniform and behaviour continue through the exam block. These expectations are outlined in the attached documents. 

We wish our students all the best with their studies.

SIA – LOG ON NOW! GET THE PHONE APP!

‘Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.’ -Warren Buffet

A parent’s role in the education of their child is vital. Student outcomes will be maximised when parents and teachers are both involved in their child’s education and have positive interactions. Sia is a fantastic way for parents to be fully informed about student progress, assessment due dates, news items, upcoming events, assessment results etc.

Sia, and the Shalom phone app, have been available to parents since the beginning of 2022. Currently, our parent login rate is slightly lower than the end of last year. We would like all our parents to be successfully logged into Sia as soon as possible. Attached in the link below is a Parent “Everything You Need To Know About Sia’ Guide which includes how to log in for the first time. The phone app is super-convenient – a must-have for parents!

Our IT team will have sent the login details for Sia to all new parents to the school at the beginning of the year. If you have misplaced these details, or are having technical difficulties, please contact our Shalom IT department via email at 520_shalomit@rok.catholic.edu.au or phone 41558131 during office hours 8am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday, Tuesdays are 8.30am - 3.30 pm.

Upcoming Masses will be hosted by our Year 11 and Year 12 students.

2nd - Scratch Race 

1st - Points Score

Tennis

On Thursday 6 February, a number of Shalom students trialled to make the Bundaberg tennis team. Congratulations to Xander W, Amelia W and Kayla M who qualified for the 2024 Bundaberg Tennis Team - a fantastic achievement! Shalom also had quality players who missed out on making the Bundaberg team despite being talented players in their own right including Harry K, Edi R, Nic C, Jack B, Jai P, Gabe K, George H and George S demonstrating how incredibly fortunate we are at Shalom with our depth.

On Wednesday 12 February, Shalom's Bundaberg representatives Amelia W, Kayla M and Xander W travelled to Maryborough to vie for selection in the Wide Bay team.

Congratulations to Xander W who capitalized on his booming serve and aggressive forehand to beat some quality opposition to gain selection - a fantastic and well-deserved achievement. Xander will now travel to University of Queensland in Brisbane to represent Wide Bay in the team’s event and attempt to qualify for the Queensland tennis team. Good luck Xander!

Ameila played some excellent tennis just falling short in a couple of her matches to miss selection in the Wide Bay team. A player of Amelia's considerable talent is sure to make the Wide Bay team in future years. Kayla, as another young gun, fought hard winning one of her matches but also not quite making the team this year. With Amelia and Kayla in Yr 8 and 7 respectively, girl's tennis at Shalom looks bright.

Congratulations to all players who trialled for Bundaberg and Wide Bay. All players showed typical Shalom spirit in the way they competed fiercely yet showing excellent sportsmanship.

As part of our commitment to Inclusive Education at Shalom, we provide English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D) support for eligible students. I am currently meeting with new students who may qualify for assistance by way of regularly speaking another language at home.

These students are often referred to as having English as a Second Language or Dialect (ESL/D) and are those whose first language—the language that was spoken to them, and that the student spoke at home as a baby and when very young—is a language or dialect other than Standard Australian English (SAE) and who may require additional support to develop further proficiency in SAE. ESL/D is more broadly known as EAL/D.

ESL/D learners may include:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students,
• immigrants to Australia and temporary visa holders from non-English speaking countries,
• students with a refugee background,
• children born in Australia of migrant heritage where English is not always spoken at home,
• children of deaf adults who use Auslan as their first language.

We take pride in our Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) student community and strive to create opportunities that help them participate in all aspects of Shalom school life, both socially, culturally and with an explicit focus on academic progress and facilitating success across our broad curriculum.

This program is designed to assist students with English expression in their current subjects, rather than being an intensive English course or an additional subject.

If you believe your child may be eligible through the support guidelines and benefit from this support, please contact me at maryann_parton@rok.catholic.edu.au  or call 4155 8158 during school hours, Monday to Thursday.
