has been developed in each of the following Key Learning Areas: Christian Studies, English, Mathematics, Science, HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences), Design and Technology, Health and Physical Education, LOTE (German and Japanese), Business and Economics (years 5-7) and The Arts. The cross-curriculum priorities of Sustainability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures and Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia are integrated into the curriculum with a particular focus on sustainability through our SOLE program, including nature play.

Specialist teachers work in Physical Education, German, Japanese, Performing Arts, Special Education and Gifted and Talented Education.

Camps (Year 6 & 7 to Canberra), sporting carnivals and school musicals are integral aspects of our school.

Our aim at Tanunda Lutheran School is to develop our students into well rounded citizens, not only academically, but socially, emotionally and spiritually. We instil in our students values such as; love, ANNUAL REPORT: 2015 SCHOOL PERFORMANCE DATA

justice, forgiveness, humility, courage, service, compassion, appreciation, hope and quality. We encourage our students to not only learn about these values, but to live them. Taking a holistic approach to education, a student’s wellbeing and levels of engagement are seen as critical factors in the delivery of a high quality primary school education.

Delivery of Christian values and an outstanding academic program is complimented by diverse extra and co-curricular opportunities which enable our students to discover their special interests and talents.

Tanunda Lutheran Early Learning Centre (ELC) caters for children aged three and a half to school age. The learning program is informed by educational practices implemented in Reggio Emilia, the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia and the Christian Studies Framework for Australia. We believe learning does not occur in isolation, but rather within relationships between people and places.

Programming is responsive to the emerging interests and needs of the children. Play is the means through which children find stimulation, wellbeing and happiness and enables them to grow physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. We respect the environment as the third teacher, and as such our Centre is presented in a manner that invites children to take calculated risks, discover, wonder, problem solve, imagine, be creative, share, participate and build connections.

Tanunda Lutheran School is highly regarded throughout the Independent Schools Association of South Australia as a leader in innovative primary and early childhood education. Adopting a play based approach to junior primary classrooms, students are engaged in their learning environments and develop independence and a deep love of learning.

Parents are asked to notify the school by telephone, email, the school App or with a written note to the teacher if a child is absent. The law requires a reason for each absence to be recorded in the roll book.

No child is permitted to leave the school grounds before home time without a note from parents and must also be signed out in the folder provided in the office before leaving.

If a pattern of non-attendance forms, the class teacher, parents and principal will meet to discuss the issue and formulate an appropriate course of action to rectify the problem.

5. STUDENT OUTCOMES IN STANDARDISED NATIONAL LITERACY AND NUMERACY TESTING What is NAPLAN? The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual national assessment for all students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. All students in these year levels are expected to participate in tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy.

All government and non-government education authorities have contributed to the development of NAPLAN materials.

Why do students do NAPLAN tests?

NAPLAN is the measure through which governments, education authorities, schools, teachers and parents can determine whether or not young Australians are meeting important educational outcomes in literacy and numeracy. The tests provide parents and schools with an understanding of how individual students are performing at the time of the tests. They also provide schools, states and territories with information about how education programs are working and which areas need to be prioritised for improvement.

NAPLAN tests are one aspect of the school’s assessment and reporting process, and do not replace the extensive, ongoing assessments made by teachers about each student’s performance.

14

www.tls.sa.edu.au - admin@tls.sa.edu.au - phone: 08 8563 2456

ANNUAL REPORT: 2015 SCHOOL PERFORMANCE DATA

What is tested, and how?

NAPLAN tests the sorts of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life, such as reading, writing, spelling, grammar and numeracy. The content of each test is informed by the National Statements of Learning for English and Mathematics which underpin state and territory learning frameworks. Questions are multiple-choice or require a short written response.

The Writing task requires students to write a persuasive text.

Can I see how schools improve over time?

Students across Australia take NAPLAN tests in years 3, 5, 7 and 9. With three years of NAPLAN results now available, My School enables parents, educators and members of the community to track school performance over time and focus on what schools are doing that have been successful in achieving gains for their students.

How can parents learn more about a school?

The performance of students in national tests is just one source of useful information about a school.

Important to also take into account is the school’s mission statement, the curriculum on offer, programs, facilities and extra-curricular activities. A link to the school website is provided on the school profile page, so you can learn even more about a school and its community.
