Dear Families
This week the Swimming and Water Safety Program comes to an end. Thank you for your support in helping students be prepared to participate so enthusiastically in the program.
Please note a change of date for the whole school assembly, it will be on Thursday 27 June at 2:10pm.
Today bookings go live for Three Way Conferences. Three Way Conferences are a dedicated time for students, teachers and families to sit down together and share the student’s learning. The conference is led by the student who will share their learning goals and some of their learning artefacts. If you need to speak to the teacher about other issues, please make another time for this. It is important that all students have an opportunity to share their learning with their families in this forum.
Three Way Conferences in term two are for Year 1 – 6 students, Kinder and Prep have meetings between parents and teachers only. Kinder and Prep students do NOT attend the term two conferences.
Some key points:
- Appointments are 15 minutes long. The bookings will show as meetings being 20 minutes apart.
- There is a 5-minute buffer between appointments to allow families to move around the school and for teachers to prepare for each meeting.
- Bookings open on Thursday 16 May 2024.
- Bookings close on Thursday 30 May 2024 at 12:00pm.
- Families who have not made a booking within this two-week window will need to make a time directly with the teacher.
- Kindergarten and Prep – meetings are between teachers and parents only.
- Year 1 – 6 – meetings involve the student, parents and teacher.
Regards
Anne Reeves

ICAS COMPETITIONS 2024 - Year 3 to 6 Students
Dear Parent / Guardian
We are pleased to run the online ICAS competitions this year in August (Term 3). These are external online educational assessments and are run in partnership with Sydney University. The registrations and payments are organised by ICAS Assessments, while the school provides the venue and test supervision. If you would like more information, please visit: https://www.icasassessments.com
Please note, that the decision to enrol a student in one or more of these assessments is solely the decision of parents/carers and we cannot recommend the decision to sit an assessment. Parents are welcome to purchase past papers through the ICAS website.
The registrations for the ICAS competitions are now open. ICAS request that parents do not enrol their child at a higher grade level, which is checked with the school before the assessment.
Payments and registrations for the assessments are made directly to ICAS Assessments by parents through the online school code provided below. Payments can be made directly through the portal at any time until 3pm on Friday 5th July (last day of Term 2). The parent payment portal will then be closed. Students may sit any or all of the assessments.
URL: https://shop.icasassessments.com/pages/pps with the School Access Code: GAH709
Please take special note of the deadline for payment as this cannot be extended and the school is unable to register students on your behalf. All assessments will be undertaken at school between 9:00 am and 11:00 am. The assessments are conducted online using our school computers.
Please contact me if you have any queries via email: helen.rothwell@decyp.tas.gov.au
Yours sincerely
Helen Rothwell / AST Anne Reeves / Principal
