NAPLAN & Headphones

NAPLAN testing will commence on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. Most of the assessments are conducted online, and students are required to use headphones.

If your child is in Year 3 or Year 5, please check that they have a set of working headphones at school. If their headphones are not functioning properly, we kindly ask that you arrange a replacement as soon as possible.

Thank you for your support.
