Maths Department Report 

We are very proud to share the outstanding achievements of our Year 9 students in the recent numeracy NAPLAN assessments. The results highlight both the high levels of achievement across our cohort and the impressive growth shown by our students. 

Achievement 

NAPLAN achievement is reported across four proficiency levels: Exceeding, Strong, Developing, and Needs Additional Support. 

At Woodmans Hill Secondary College, 63% of our Year 9 students achieved in the Strong and Exceeding categories, placing them above both the state average of 62% and well ahead of similar schools at 53%. 

Growth 

NAPLAN also measures how much progress students have made since their Year 7 results, with growth reported as High, Medium, or Low. 

33% of our students achieved High Growth, compared with the state average of 25%. 

Overall, 79% of our students experienced High or Medium Growth, again above the state average of 74% and significantly higher than similar schools at 69%. 

These results demonstrate that our students are not only achieving strongly but also making excellent progress in their learning journeys. It highlights the impact of our teachers’ commitment, the support of families, and the resilience of our students.
