Upcoming Academic Assessment (ALLWELL) Testing - Padua College Monday 17 August 2026

 Information From Padua College 

We are writing to inform you about the upcoming Academic Assessment (ALLWELL) testing day for students enrolled in Year 7 at Padua College in 2027.

As part of our transition program, students enrolled to commence Year 7 at Padua College in 2027 are required to participate in our ALLWELL assessments. These assessments provide valuable insight into each student's literacy and numeracy skills, enabling us to identify learning needs, inform curriculum planning, and ensure students are appropriately supported and challenged from the start of their secondary education journey.

The results also help us monitor student growth and further strengthen our teaching and learning programs.

Testing Day Details:

•Date: Monday 17 August 2026

•Location: Padua College Tyabb Campus

•Dress Code: Casual clothing (no school uniform required)

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in reassuring students and families that these assessments are not about performance pressure but are intended to help teachers better understand how to support each child’s progress.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us via transition@padua.vic.edu.au
