Dear Parents & Carers,
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) for years 7 & 9, will be conducted online between Wednesday 12 March and Monday 24 March, 2025. Students will complete one test strand per day.
NAPLAN tests assess student knowledge and skills in Writing, Reading, Conventions of Grammar (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy. It is important that students attend and participate in NAPLAN as the results provide valuable information for students, parents, teachers and principals which can be used to improve student learning.
All students are expected to participate in the NAPLAN tests and we encourage every student to do their 'personal best'. Catch-up tests will also be available for individual students who are absent on the scheduled test days.
Any parents who wish to discuss their child's participation, please contact the school by Monday 11 March, 2024.
Later in the year you will receive your child's personal NAPLAN report. This report will describe your student's particular skills in each strand. The report will also show how your young person performed in relation to national minimum standards. These describe the minimum acceptable standards for students across Australia.
I am confident that the information you receive as a result of your student's participation in the NAPLAN tests will be valuable in helping you to assess his/her progress in literacy and numeracy. This information will also assist our teachers to tailor your child's learning in their classes.
Yours sincerely
Damien Burke
Principal
