NAPLAN - Years 3 and 5

We wish our Year 3 and 5 students all the best with NAPLAN assessment next week. Here are some tips to make sure they are ready to do their best:

• Good sleeping habits will go a long way towards ensuring that your child is feeling their best on the testing day.
• Have a good breakfast to ensure their bodies are fuelled up!
• Take the pressure off your child by asking them to try their best and the result will take care of itself.

Enrolments 2023

2023 Enrolments will open at 6am on Tuesday 26 April 2022 (Term 2, Week 1).

Who needs to complete an enrolment form?

• Preschool 2023 
• New students in the Ngunnawal Priority Enrolment Area (PEA) K-6

What do I do if my child is in Preschool 2022?

• If you live in the Ngunnawal Priority Enrolment Area (PEA) and attend our preschool your child's enrolment will rollover to 2023.
• If you do not live in the Ngunnawal PEA you will need to apply to your PEA school or submit an out of area application to Ngunnawal

We will contact all preschool families in Term 3 to confirm if your child is continuing on at Ngunnawal.
