NAPLAN Testing Dates.

Year 3 and 5 students will partake in NAPLAN testing on Tuesday 11th May. There are four tests that years 3 and 5 will undertake:

• Writing
• Reading
• Conventions of Language

As children progress through their school years, it is very important that checks are made along the way to see how well they are learning the essential skills of reading, writing and mathematics.

NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents to see how their child is progressing in literacy and numeracy against the national standard and compared with their peers throughout Australia. At the classroom level, NAPLAN provides additional information to support teachers’ professional judgement about student progress.

This year our students are moving to online testing, with the exception of the year 3 writing test which will still be completed on paper. Students have been engaged in learning about the types of questions that will be on the NAPLAN test and how to navigate the site. You and your child can access the Public Demonstration Site  to familiarise themselves with the type of questions and related functionalities available in the NAPLAN Online assessment.

This website (https://www.nap.edu.au/home) provides further information and resources about NAPLAN.
