NAPLAN

Naplan is an annual national assessment for all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, and is the only nationwide assessment that all Australian children undertake. It is made up of tests in the 4 areas (or ‘domains’) of:

• reading
• writing
• conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
• numeracy.

At COHR our Year 3 & 5 students will participate in Naplan over a two week period.

• Writing - Wednesday 12th March
• Reading - Thursday 13th March
• Conventions of Language - Wednesday 19th March
• Numeracy - Thursday 20th March

We have attached the ACARA Parent Information Brochure for more information.

Changes in routine, like Naplan, can require the need for a little extra support and monitoring of our students' wellbeing. At school we will be ensuring that our Year 3s and Year 5s are well supported and this brochure from Catholic Education in Western Australia, may give parents some helpful advice.
