As in previous years, headphones, earphones or earbuds is an essential tool your child needs to complete sections of the tests.  Please ensure all headphones, earphones or earbuds are in working order and clearly labelled with your child’s name and class. 

*A reminder, NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows you to see how your child is progressing against national standards in literacy and numeracy and over time. 

Your child could find NAPLAN stressful. Here are some tips for reducing stress:

1. Listen to your child and give support.
2. Before your child comes to school on the day of the test, be reassuring and positive.
3. Discuss a “try your best” attitude.
4. Practice. Do some revision of skills and practice questions with your child.
