A note from
the Principal
Dear Parents,
This week, I am thrilled to share our exceptional Y5 & Y6 ISA assessment
results.
This year’s results show a significant
difference in the performance of Patana Primary students, compared with ‘regional’
and ‘all schools’ groups. Both Reading
and Mathematics for Year 5 are +36 and +35 points, respectively, when compared
with the regional group. For Year 6 Reading the difference is +72 and for
Mathematics +61.
These results are exceptional, particularly in
Reading and Year 6 Mathematics. It is key to note that the Year 6
Mathematics results are our highest ever.
On Saturday, I
look forward to joining the Graduation Ceremony for our Year 13 students. Wishing
you a wonderful weekend ahead.
Sarah McCormack

We talked about different personal hygiene products, so your child may ask you about these.
