Year 9 OLNA  Term 4

This is a reminder that some students in Year 9 are scheduled to complete the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) during Term 4, from Monday 27 October to Friday 7 November 2025. As the testing date draws nearer, your child’s OLNA timetable will become visible in SEQTA. This information can be found by scrolling forward in your child’s SEQTA timetable. Please ensure that your child is aware of their individual test requirements, dates, times, and locations.

Should your child become unwell in the first week of testing, the Reading and Numeracy components can be rescheduled to the second week of the testing window. However, please note that the Writing component can only be completed in the first two days of the testing window. 

To guarantee the best chance of success, all students should complete the skill builders on the OLNA Support website weekly from now until the OLNA test(s).

Additionally, the School Curriculum and Standards Authority also provide access to practice and example tests on a secure website. The link to the secure website for practice and example tests is as follows:
