NAPLAN
Next term Week 4, our students in Years 3 and 5 will participate in Naplan Online. The National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual national assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9.  NAPLAN is a measure to see whether young Australians are developing their literacy and numeracy skills.

In preparation for Naplan, our students will participate in an online Omnibus test on Wednesday 20th April (Week 1). By participating in this practice test, students will engage with the Naplan platform and work through similarly structured questions.

This link is a parent information document to help answer questions you may have regarding your child’s participation in Naplan 2022.  The public demonstration site link is also available. Visiting this site enables you to view videos, look at Naplan style questions and gain further insight into these tests. https://nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site
