OLNA & NAP Science Literacy

OLNA Update – Term 2, 2026

With the first round of the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) now complete as of Friday, 8 May, I would like to outline the next steps. 

Results will be reported back to schools by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA), with release anticipated on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. Upon receipt of results, all parents, carers, and students will be notified via email by no later than the end of that week.

Students who were absent during this round of testing will have an opportunity to complete the OLNA during Weeks 9 to 10 of Term 2, from Monday, 15 June to Friday, 26 June 2026. 

A further round of OLNA testing will be held for Year 10, Year 11, and Year 12 students during Term 3, Weeks 8 to 9 from Monday, 7 September to Friday, 18 September 2026.

NAP–Science Literacy Reminder

Each year, the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) complete a sample test of Year 10 students from across Australia in either civics and citizenship, information and communication technology literacy, or science literacy. 

This year, twenty Year 10 students from Applecross Senior High School have been randomly selected to participate in the online Science Literacy assessment. Selected students and their parents have been notified. 

Testing will take place on Monday, 25 May 2026. Students are not expected to study for this assessment, and no individual schools or students will be identified in the findings of this report.
