For Your Information
NAPLAN Results
In the coming days, we will be sending home the 2024 NAPLAN results with students in Years 3 and 5. The reports contain information about your child’s performance compared with national standards, including information about the average of other students from around Australia.
The purpose of the NAPLAN testing is to give an insight into the students current level of achievement in the areas of Numeracy and Literacy. It simply provides a snapshot of their academic progress so far on areas covered within the Australian Curriculum.
If your child was new to the school after NAPLAN has been completed, your child's previous school will pass on the results to you directly, if you left a forwarding address. Also, where families have a shared custody arrangement, the additional copy of results will be sent via Australia Post.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact the school or visit https://nap.edu.au/naplan/results-and-reports

Scholarships and Bursaries - Round 2 Applications
Round 2 applications for Prescott bursaries and scholarships close on 22 August 2025.

The application forms are available from our school front office.
Lunches for Students Without Food
It is parents/guardians responsibility to provide lunch for their child every day. However, there are occasions where lunch is forgotten – in these cases we will ensure that students have something to eat.
Please note the below as we have recently changed our policy around supplying lunches for students who have no food.
If your child comes to school with no lunch, we will call you. You will be required to pay $5 over the phone with your credit card and we will supply them with a cheese toastie from the canteen.
If the payment is not made at the time of the phone call, or within 3 school days, (eg: if we cannot contact you), we will add the $5 charge to your school fees.
It is no longer be an option for a Canteen order for the following day to be placed via Flexischools as payment.
As always, lunch can be ordered each school day before 9.30am via Flexischools. Lunches can be ordered in advance or for multiple days. Please contact the school as soon as practicable if you have missed the 9.30am cutoff to make the $5 payment for your child so their toastie can be delivered to class and they don’t miss out on valuable lunch time.
