Recently, our Years 1–10 students took part in the PAT Mathematics tests, while those in Years 2–10 completed the PAT Reading assessment. These computer-adaptive, Australian norm-referenced tools help teachers identify individual strengths and areas for growth, inform classroom strategies and build a comprehensive picture of student progress alongside NAPLAN, DIBELS, InitialLit and class-based assessments.

This week we celebrated every student’s effort by presenting certificates for their achievements in both Mathematics and Reading. It’s wonderful to see our McAuley motto—Believe, Strive, Achieve—so clearly reflected in their hard work and growth. Congratulations to all our learners on their success!
