NAPLAN Report

NAPLAN Reports

The NAPLAN Student Reports have been sent home this afternoon. Please look for the envelope addressed to you in your child’s school bag.

Please note that NAPLAN is just one form of assessment and provides a snapshot of your child’s performance on a specific day in March. We continuously assess as we teach, and your child’s school reports (mid-year and end-of-year) offer a more comprehensive view of their progress.

How is my child’s performance reported?

From 2023, NAPLAN results are reported against proficiency standards. There is a standard for each assessment area at each year level. Proficiency standards provide clear information on student achievement. They are set at a challenging but reasonable level expected for the student at the time of NAPLAN testing, based mainly on what has been taught in previous years of schooling. 

Student achievement is shown against 4 levels of proficiency: Exceeding, Strong, Developing and Needs additional support. 

A NAPLAN individual student report will be provided by your child’s school later in the year. If you do not receive a report, you should contact your child’s school.

How are NAPLAN results used?

• Students and parents/carers use individual results to discuss progress with teachers.
• Teachers use results to help identify students who need greater challenges or extra support.
• Schools use results to identify strengths and areas of need to improve teaching programs, and to set goals in literacy and numeracy.
• School systems use results to review the effectiveness of programs and support offered to schools.
• The community can see information about the performance of schools over time at My School.
