Grade 3 and 5 NAPLAN 2025

Dear Parents and Carers of our Year 3 and 5 students,

The NAPLAN assessments will be taking place during the NAPLAN testing window from 12th-24th March of this year. As a part of the National Protocols for Test Administration (Online), it is a requirement that students have an opportunity to become familiar with the format and question types contained in the NAPLAN Online tests. In the lead up to NAPLAN, Years 3 and 5 students will participate in practice tests which will help them to become familiar with the test format, language, response types and technology experienced in each component of the assessment. Please note that the Year 3 writing assessment is conducted in a pencil and paper format.

For further information, please refer to this important information page for parents and carers.

NAPLAN 2025 information for parents and carers (online)

Our NAPLAN schedule is currently being finalised and will be sent out to parents of Year 3 and 5 students in the coming week via Compass.

At Footscray West Primary School, we encourage all students to participate. We will make contact with families where the Wellbeing team have documentation regarding a disability that permits an adjustment to provide support and enable access to the NAPLAN.

Please contact Assistant Principal, Carolyn Lockie, should you have any further questions about your child’s participation.
