Broadmeadows Valley Primary Lifts Literacy Scores Through Daily Writing Focus
A year after the release of strong statewide results, the school newsletter from August 2025 shows how daily attendance and writing focus shaped outcomes at the local campus.
How we reported this
Broadmeadows Valley Primary School recorded pleasing literacy growth in the 2025 NAPLAN round, particularly in reading and writing, according to the school newsletter issued on 20 August 2025.
That improvement arrived during a shortened nine-week term that ended on Friday 19 September, a period when the school also ran its annual 100 Days celebration for foundation students and prepared for Book Week. The timing matters now because those same practices around regular attendance and classroom routines continue to influence how the school supports students entering the current year.
Attendance and daily routines set the foundation
The newsletter stressed that every missed day links to lower achievement in numeracy, writing and reading over time. It noted that patterns formed early often carry forward, and it urged families to limit absences to genuine illness while planning holidays outside term dates. At Broadmeadows Valley Primary School this translated into concrete reminders about sleep, nutrition and exercise as practical supports for consistent attendance.
Foundation students marked their 100th day on Friday 8 August by dressing as centenarians and completing activities built around the number 100. The event sat alongside ongoing work with Story Hubs, which the school used on its curriculum day of Tuesday 26 August when students stayed home so staff could develop an imaginative shared learning space.
Surveys and upcoming events offered family input
Parents received an invitation to complete the annual Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey between Monday 18 August and Friday 19 September 2025, with results intended to guide future planning. Book Week was scheduled for Friday 12 September under the theme Celebrating Books We Love, featuring a 9:30am parade in the multi-purpose hall that encouraged costumes reflecting favourite titles.
After-care arrangements through OSHClub remained available for families needing support on regular school days. The newsletter closed by reminding readers that Victorian schools overall posted the strongest NAPLAN results nationally that year, with higher participation rates than 2024 and fewer students in the lowest band.
