Dear Families,
Many of our students participated in NAPLAN last week. (The National Assessment Program —
Literacy and Numeracy) NAPLAN is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. It
tests the types of skills that every child needs to progress through school and life and covers skills
in reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and numeracy. Congratulations to all
students who took part.
SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD AT HOME
Children spend a large part of their life at home with their parents and anything home can do to
help children with their learning can be of great benefit. At home students can benefit from one
to one support and spending time with the ones they love while learning will make it so much
more fun.
Each week the East Torrens Newsletter will endeavour to add some maths puzzles you may like to
enjoy with your child/children.
You will find the answers hidden somewhere in this newsletter.

On Friday, 10th of May, our athletics team travelled to the SA Athletics Stadium to
compete in the Torrens River District SAPSASA carnival. In a day of mixed results,
performances and emotions, the boys and girls strove for PBs and revelled in the
chance to go up against the best athletes from schools in the Torrens River district.
Well done to each and every member of the 2019 athletics team.
A special mention goes to Diana, from M5, for winning her 800m race and to Buffy,
from R12, and Harsimran, from R13, for winning their age categories for the
discus. The three athletes will now compete for the Torrens River District athletics
team in the SA Metropolitan Athletics Championships on Tuesday, 21st May
(Week 4).
The best of luck and effort girls and we hope that you can create an individual
PB each.
