NAPLAN News

Dear parents, guardians and carers of Year 3 and 5 children, 

NAPLAN readiness and Conversations about NAPLAN are Happening. 

This year, NAPLAN is scheduled for Wednesday 11 March. We understand how some children may experience anxiety and stress to perform for NAPLAN. The school will often contact parents about NAPLAN preparation and planning as adjustments are available for students with disability, who have diverse functional abilities and needs.

Schools work with parents/carers and students to identify, on a case-by-case basis, reasonable adjustments required for individual students with disability to access NAPLAN. Adjustments should reflect the support normally provided for classroom assessments. In exceptional circumstances, a student with a disability that severely limits their capacity to participate in the assessment, or a student who has recently arrived in Australia and has a non-English speaking background, may be granted a formal exemption or a parent / carer may seek to withdraw based on their own beliefs.

If you would like to discuss your child’s participation in NAPLAN this year, please contact the school or Libby Strong HOSES. 

NAPLAN forms can be collected from the school’s office.
