NAPLAN

16 May 2019

Dear Parents

As you are aware, this week we commenced online NAPLAN testing in Years 3 and 5.  Whist there have been a lot of reports in the media of major disruptions, SSP experienced only a few.  Where there were disruptions, the issues were rectified very quickly and the students coped very well with this.

The issues experienced by many schools on Tuesday were caused by the NAPLAN server, not individual schools’ networks and have since been rectified.  I am pleased to report that subsequent tests have not been disrupted. 

The testing continues for students until May 24.

Kind regards

Apraxia Awareness Day - 14 May 2019

13 May 2019

Dear Parents

Tomorrow, Tuesday 14 May, we will be celebrating Apraxia Awareness Day.

Apraxia is a neurological condition that results in the complete or partial loss of the ability to perform complex muscular movements.  Childhood Apraxia of Speech - CAS (also known as developmental verbal dyspraxia) is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak.  Children with the diagnosis of apraxia of speech generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say.  However, they have difficulty in learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech.

With the right speech therapy and the support of the entire community, children with apraxia can, and do, make amazing progress in their ability to speak!

Everyone in Pre-Primary will be wearing something blue on 14 May to show support for one of the pupils in that year level with this diagnosis and to help increase awareness and understanding of this condition. 

We’re not asking for any money, just for you to use your voice to raise awareness for those who can’t use theirs.  Every child deserves a voice!

Kind regards

SSP’s Got Talent

02 May 2019

Dear Parents 

Last term some Year 6 students suggested holding a talent quest at lunchtime to entertain our students.  We ran with this idea and today at lunchtime we had our first talent quest - SSP’s Got Talent!  It included singing, dancing and playing the flute.  Well done to those who entertained us today.

At this stage, the Talent Quest involves students from Years 3 – 6, but all students are welcome to be part of the audience.  It is non-competitive and provides a chance for students to showcase their talents.

If your child is selected to be in the Talent Quest, they will receive a note informing them of the date they will be performing.  It occurs on Thursday lunchtimes and the timetable of acts can be found on Miss Green’s office window and outside the music room.
