       NAPLAN 2026 

YEAR 3 AND 5 STUDENTS - NAPLAN 2026

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The assessments are undertaken nationwide, every year.  

NAPLAN is made up of tests in the four areas of 

• Writing 
• Reading 
• Conventions of Language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) 
• Numeracy 

The NAPLAN tests will be conducted on the following days: 

Catch-up tests will be organised on an individual basis in the event of student absences up until Monday the 23rd of March, where possible.

Later in the year, you will receive your child’s personal NAPLAN report. 

NAPLAN is one of the many ways the school understands and supports students' learning. We encourage students to just try their best and reiterate that there is no need to worry about NAPLAN. Practical strategies that help include maintaining regular routines, reassuring students that they are well prepared through their everyday learning, encouraging good sleep, breakfast, and hydration in the days around testing. 

For more information about the tests, please visit the NAP website at https://www.nap.edu.au  

Please contact your classroom teacher or Melissa Cassetta, Year 3-6 Learning Leader if you have further questions.
