NAPLAN Online 2021

Dear Parents / Guardians,

In 2021, St Philip’s students will be undertaking their NAPLAN assessments online. 

In order to prepare students for the online version, we will be having a practise test on Thursday 25th March. All students in Years 7 and 9 will sit for the NAPLAN Tests from Tuesday 11th May to Friday 21st May. 

Year 9 students will be using their Managed Device, so we request that they please ensure that they are fully charged.

As part of the planning for these tests, students with special needs or considerations need to be identified and the appropriate paperwork completed. 

Special Provisions come under the following categories; Disability Adjustments, Exemptions and Withdrawals.

• Disability Adjustments are provided for students who have short or long term impairments but who are otherwise capable of completing all or part of the tests.
• Exemptions can be granted for one or more tests for those with a complex disability or for students who have been in Australia for less than one year and with a language background other than English.

If you feel that your child falls into any of the above categories or you would like to discuss your child’s participation in the tests, please contact me by email: steve.kimber@stphilips.nt.edu.au

All relevant paperwork needs to be completed and returned no later than Monday 22nd March.
