NAPLAN

NAPLAN

Students in Years 7 and 9 will sit the NAPLAN online tests between Wednesday 13 March and Monday 18 March 2024. Please ensure your daughter has PLUG IN earphones for the tests. These can be purchased inexpensively at stores such as K-Mart. Bluetooth earphones, such as airpods are not suitable, as students may have difficulty connecting them and cause delays to all students sitting the tests. 

The online test schedule at Caroline Chisholm College is as follows: 

Catch up sessions will be run on Tuesday 19 March, to enable students who are absent to sit the tests.

Equipment and preparation for the tests:

• All students will require PLUG IN earphones for the tests.
• We will check the 2024 browser is installed and functioning during lessons at school.

These tests should not be a source of concern for students or parents. In preparation for NAPLAN, our school has undertaken activities to assist our students in becoming familiar with the format and functionality of the online tests. These activities are not an assessment of student ability and will not be marked. Excessive preparation for NAPLAN is not required nor recommended. Please be assured that the teachers are working with your daughter to ensure she is developing the necessary skills to complete these tests successfully.

The public demonstration site is available to see the types of questions, tools and functions used in the NAPLAN tests.

If you have any questions about special provisions for the tests please contact Ms Field (afield@parra.catholic.edu.au).

If you wish to withdraw your daughter from NAPLAN, or if you have any other questions about the NAPLAN tests, please contact Mrs Smith (lsmith24@parra.catholic.edu.au).

We wish all our year 7 and year 9 students all the very best as they head towards the completion of these tests.

Assistant Principal
