NAPLAN

In 2008, the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) commenced in Australian schools. Every year, all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are assessed on the same days using national tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation) and Numeracy.

 

It is important that all students participate in the national tests. Special provisions are made to meet the needs of individual students with special needs.

 

Parents and carers can best assist students by making them feel comfortable about the nature and purpose of the tests. Their children can be assured that the assessments will give them an opportunity to show what they have learned in class.

 

NAPLAN Results from previous years can be seen as part of the Annual Report under the Communications tab above.
