From the Principal
Dear Longford Primary School Community
Welcome BBQ – This Thursday Evening!
We are thrilled to invite all our families to our Welcome BBQ this Thursday evening. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and mingle with our staff, catch up with other families, and enjoy some quality time with our school community. We value the importance of working together as partners in your child’s learning journey, and this event is a great way to kick off the school year with a sense of connection and fun. We hope to see you there!
Reading Challenge: A Great Start!
We are excited to announce that our Reading Challenge is off to a fantastic start! Thank you to all of our families for their support in encouraging students to engage with reading at home. The importance of reading cannot be overstated—it's a key to building literacy skills and fostering a love for learning. We truly appreciate your support in making this challenge a success, and we look forward to seeing all the wonderful progress our students will make.
NAPLAN & PAT Testing
As we move into March, we want to remind families that students in Year 3 and Year 5 will be undergoing NAPLAN testing starting on March 11. NAPLAN provides valuable data that helps us understand how we can best support your child’s learning and development. Additionally, students in Prep and Year 1 will be completing the PAT (Progressive Achievement Tests), which will also provide us with important insights into their progress. We use all of this data to ensure that we meet the individual learning needs of every student across our school.
Attendance – Every School Day Matters
Every school day matters because regular attendance is key to your child’s learning and academic success. Consistent attendance helps students stay on track with their studies, build strong relationships with peers and teachers, and develop essential skills. If you're facing any challenges in getting your children to school, please reach out—we are here to support you and ensure your child has every opportunity to succeed.
