NAPLAN 2025
This year the official NAPLAN testing window for all schools around Australia starts in Term 1 on Wednesday, 12 March 2025 (Week 7) and concludes on Monday, 24 March 2025 (Week 9).
During this time, our Year 7 and Year 9 students will be completing four online NAPLAN tests:
Writing
Reading
Conventions of Language (spelling, grammar, and punctuation)
Numeracy
The testing sessions will be spread across the nine-day testing window. Students will complete no more than one test in a single day and will attend their timetabled lessons when not completing a NAPLAN test. It is expected that students attend all classes to ensure that they do not have gaps in their learning and are setting themselves up for success in 2025.
The information that NAPLAN provides to the college is one of a variety of tools that assists our leaders and teaching staff to meet the needs of all our learners through dedicated intervention programs and in-class support. NAPLAN also provides information for families about how their children are progressing in their learning journey.
Students will receive a timetable of their testing sessions closer to the start of the NAPLAN testing window. Any classroom changes that occur during the testing window will be displayed on each student’s XUNO dashboard.
NAPLAN tests will be conducted online on Staughton College devices. Students will be given time in one of their Week 5 classes to practise using the online system before the official NAPLAN testing window.
If students would like to familiarise themselves with the online version of NAPLAN, there is an online practice test available for anyone to explore at any time: https://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site
