In Week 4 of this term, Year 3 and Year 5 children will participate in the NAPLAN (National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy) assessments. Students will take part in online assessments; Reading, Conventions of Language and Numeracy. Year 5 students will also complete a writing task online. Year 3 will complete their writing task on paper.

The test window for NAPLAN is now 9 days, so we will commence testing on Tuesday 10 May and complete the testing (including any catch up testing) by Friday 20 May 2021. It is important that no holidays or appointments causing children to be absent from school, are scheduled during this testing window.                                                     

Moving NAPLAN online brings many advantages including a test design that offers test items tailored to students’ knowledge and ability.                                                                                                        

Last week, our Year 3 & 5 students participated in the NAPLAN Online omnibus test. This was a practice test for student to become familiar with logging onto the NAPLAN environment and using the various features of the interface. There are public demonstrations sites available for parents and carers to access at home. https://nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site.

Students do not require permission to participate in the testing, however if you have any questions or concerns please contact the school on 0747869555
