CURRICULUM MATTERS...

BEST START

Year 7 will be completing "Best Start" Testing on the 8 March. Best Start Year 7 is a literacy and numeracy assessment package for schools to use in the first five weeks of Year 7. It is designed to:

  • provide teachers with consistent and up-to-date information about new students' skills and abilities in literacy and numeracy
  •  identify students at risk of falling behind
  • help inform targeted teaching and intervention strategies 

All Year 7 students will attend PC as usual and stay in PC rooms with their PC Teacher for P1-P2 to complete both tests (50 mins each). Tests are online and hence students will need a charged device.
