Dear Families

I hope you were able to enjoy the long weekend and spend some quality time together, making the most of the warmer days.

Student Wellbeing Data 2025 Results
Students in Years 4–6 recently participated in the annual Student Wellbeing and Engagement Survey. Pleasingly, our data shows improvements in School Climate and School Belonging. Students reported higher levels of resilience and strong connections with adults both at school and at home. It was also very positive to see a reduction in reported incidents of bullying. Student wellbeing will continue to be a key priority in 2026, and as a school we will keep implementing strategies to support every student.

End of Year Assessments

Students are currently participating in end-of-year assessments, including PAT testing, DIBELS (a reading screening tool), and subject-based assessments. This data will be used to inform students’ end-of-year reports and demonstrates the growth they have made over the year. The overall results also help us plan the support students will need in 2026.

Staff Professional Learning
Last Friday, staff engaged in professional learning aligned with our school priorities in Reading, Mathematics and Wellbeing. These days provide valuable opportunities for staff to continue building their capacity and knowledge of best teaching practices, as well as to plan strategies to best support all students.

Class Planning for 2026
School leadership has now begun planning for classes in 2026. If you have any information regarding your child’s class placement that may support this process, please contact the office to arrange a time to meet with Candice. If your family is planning to move to another school, or if you know of families intending to enrol at Longford Primary School next year, please contact the school office.

Upcoming Events
Term 4 is filled with exciting events, including end-of-year excursions, our Presentation Assembly, Swimming Carnival and Christmas Carols. Please continue to check our newsletter, Seesaw and Facebook for updates. We look forward to celebrating these special moments with you.
