Preparing for NAPLAN: Support for Year 5 Students

As NAPLAN approaches, we want to ensure our Year 5 students feel prepared and confident. While this assessment helps gauge literacy and numeracy skills, it is just one test on one day—it does not define a child’s abilities or future success.

At school, we are integrating fun and engaging activities to build skills in reading, writing, language conventions, and numeracy. We encourage students to approach the test as an opportunity to showcase what they know, rather than something to stress about.

Parents play a vital role in creating a calm and positive mindset. Reassure your child that NAPLAN is simply a checkpoint in their learning journey, not a measure of their worth. Encouraging good sleep, a balanced breakfast, and a relaxed attitude will help them perform at their best.

Let’s work together to support our students, reminding them that effort and growth matter far more than any single test result!
