NAPLAN 2016

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. NAPLAN tests the sorts of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life, such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy. The assessments are undertaken nationwide, every year, in the second full week in May.

NAPLAN is made up of tests in the four areas (or ‘domains’) of:

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

Please remember NAPLAN testing is only a snapshot of your child’s learning. It is one day in the year where your child is asked to sit through a standardized test. LNPS teachers assess your child’s learning on a daily basis through interactions, discussions and personalized learning experiences.

If any families have any further questions regarding NAPLAN or wish to speak to someone from leadership please do not hesitate to contact us on 8443 5544, or alternatively e-mail:
