"There's been a lot of talk in the media and through parents and community about how it might be effecting the standards of academic achievement," she said.

"Given the big changes, the trauma that may be involved in the lockdowns and the uncertainty, the in-school, the out-of-school, all those sort of things... of course you would expect some change.

"However, we're very excited to say we've maintained that high level of academic achievement."

Ms Klironomakis attributed the consistent success to a committed team approach to literacy and numeracy.

"We support the students needs where they need to be supported," she said.

"And the connections that we continue to have with parents and also the support that was given with home learning as well, the teachers did a really fantastic job of maintaining that interaction and engagement with learning."

Ms Klironomakis said nearly 70 per cent of Year 3 students were in the top two bands for reading and one student in Year 5 achieved a band 9 or Year 9 level in writing.

"That's a great achievement," she said.

Ms Klironomakis said there was also collaboration between teachers and parents to support students with additional learning needs.

"We've begun a really strong literacy support program where students who have diagnoses are supported with technology inside the classroom, so they can access the learning at the same level as their peers," she said.

She said an example of that was the use of assistive technologies like talk-to-text and immersive readers, 'tech' club where students learnt how to use these technologies and structures to support understanding across the curriculum.
