NAPLAN

This year NAPLAN testing is taking place from 13-15 March. All Year 7 and 9 students will participate in NAPLAN testing. Year 7 tests will take place at Kildare Campus and Year 9 tests at Brigidine Campus.

As has been the case in previous years, NAPLAN tests will be completed online. This will require all students to have a fully charged laptop and a set of earphones. Where possible earphones with a cord are preferable to Air Pods.

St Joseph’s values the data collected during NAPLAN testing. Along with other data, it is used to inform decisions at a school, subject and class level. We are also able to view each individual student's test results, allowing us to ensure we are meeting students at their point of need.

There is a NAPLAN public demonstration site allowing students and parents to become familiar with the test format. We encourage you to look through this with your child. This website can be found here: https://www.nap.edu.au/naplan/public-demonstration-site. 

Students will also spend some time in class ensuring they are familiar with accessing the testing website.
