2022 NAPLAN TESTS
NAPLAN This Week
We wish all our Grade 3 and 5 students the best of luck as they participate in the NAPLAN testing this week. The NAPLAN (National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy) will be held this week on Tuesday 10th May, Wednesday 11th May,Thursday 12th May and Friday 13th May.
NAPLAN tests seek to measure student performance standards across writing, reading, language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.
The results of the NAPLAN tests provide information for students, parents, and the school.Testing data is used to inform teaching programs leading to improved student achievement.
All students in Grades 3 and 5 are expected to participate in NAPLAN tests and at St Simon’s we have a proud tradition of high participation. Support has been arranged for specific students in Grade 3 and 5 and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the families involved for their support and quick responses. Students who are absent on test days, will have the opportunity to complete the NAPLAN tests during catch up week, the following week.
Later in the year you will receive your child's personal NAPLAN report.The report will describe your child's particular results from the Reading, Writing, Spelling, Language Conventions and Numeracy testing. The report will also show how your child performed in relation to Australian minimum standards.
The information you receive as a result of your child's participation in NAPLAN tests will be valuable in helping you assess your child’s progress in literacy and numeracy. You can also be assured that St Simon’s uses NAPLAN data to help inform its Teaching & Learning program.
If you have any further enquiries or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
