NAPLAN Testing 2021

Students in Year 7 and Year 9 will participate in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) on Tuesday 11 May to Thursday 13 May. Students complete tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy (with and without calculator). Our students will be completing these tests on paper and not online, this year. Letters and an information brochure will be sent to all Year 7 and 9 students via Operoo.  

Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences

Thank you to all of the families who attended our online Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences last week and in the last week of Term 1. It was wonderful to have many parents and students discussing their learning progress at Marian College. We will seek feedback via a survey and use this information to inform our future planning. 

On-going Engagement 

It is now important that parents remain engaged in their daughter’s learning. To assist in this process, please ensure that you log into the SEQTA Engage Parent Portal on a regular basis to review results, feedback and student reflection (if you require assistance, please visit the Parent Helpdesk). 

Ask your daughter questions about her learning, for example; what she did well, what she wants to achieve and what strategies she needs to put in place to improve next time. These discussions do have a positive impact on student learning progress.

Please note, if you do require assistance with SEQTA or Operoo, the Parent IT Helpdesk is available on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 3.00 – 4.00 pm and Wednesday morning from 8.30 – 10.00 am in the Resource Centre.
