NAPLAN 2021
As students 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 – skills that will set them upon the path to success as adults.
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. Senior Leaders use NAPLAN results to inform school planning and to allocate resources and support including informing decisions around targeted programs and initiatives for individuals and groups.
This year our Grade 3 and 5 students will be participating in the online Australia wide NAPLAN testing from Tuesday, 11th May through till Friday, 21st May. All children in Grades 3 and 5 will complete online tests in the areas of Numeracy, Language Conventions and Reading.
By now you should have all received the parent information regarding NAPLAN. If you have any questions around this please contact the school.
