Learning at Penola

NAPLAN
Year 7 and Year 9 students have now completed four NAPLAN tests: Reading, Writing, Conventions of Language and Numeracy. Students who were absent were provided with an opportunity to attend a catch up session. We are very proud of how our students conducted themselves during the testing window.

NAPLAN results are provided to schools from August. All students who participated in the NAPLAN tests receive an individual report of their results. NAPLAN individual student reports provide information about what students know and have achieved in the areas of reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. The reports also provide information on how students have performed against the national average (over one million students participate in NAPLAN tests each year) and the national minimum standards.

LANGUAGES WEEK
Congratulations to all Languages staff on a terrific week of activities, quizzes, banquets and celebrations. Our Italian, Japanese and French teams have organised a myriad of tremendous activities for the Penola community to mark this special time in the College calendar.

EXAMNINATIONS
Semester One examinations have been scheduled for students in Year 10 and Year 11. Students must familiarise themselves with the timetable and adhere to all exam protocols. These summative assessments provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate the key skills and knowledge that they have developed over the course of the semester. It is our expectation that all students revise examination material thoroughly and work to achieve their full potential. Students are encouraged to access revision material on MyPenola and seek assistance from their subject teachers.
