NAPLAN 2026

Supporting Our Year 7 and Year 9 Students

As we approach the upcoming NAPLAN assessments, we would like to remind families that this is an important opportunity for our Year 7 and Year 9 students to demonstrate their learning progress. While NAPLAN is just one measure of achievement, striving to do their personal best helps ensure we receive the most accurate picture of each student’s current abilities.

In the lead‑up to NAPLAN, our English and Mathematics teachers are providing students with opportunities to engage with the types of questions and tasks they will encounter. This helps students feel familiar, confident, and prepared. However, as a college, we also recognise that we are all teachers of literacy, and that students develop their literacy and numeracy skills across subjects. Every lesson contributes to building the strong foundational skills students need—not just for NAPLAN, but for lifelong learning.

Our teachers use NAPLAN data, alongside classroom assessments and daily learning observations, to better understand student strengths and areas for growth. This information plays a valuable role in shaping teaching programs, guiding targeted support, and ensuring we provide the right level of challenge for every learner.

We encourage students to approach NAPLAN with a positive attitude, confidence, and a willingness to give it their best effort. Families can support their children by reinforcing the message that NAPLAN is not about perfection; rather, it is about showing what they know, what they can already do well, and where they may need further support.

Thank you for your partnership in helping our students feel prepared, calm, and motivated. Together, we can make this a positive experience that contributes to their ongoing growth and success.
