NAPLAN

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 students are held in March each year. In 2023, the NAPLAN test window is between Wednesday 15 March and Monday 27 March. NAPLAN tests assess student knowledge and skills in writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. The results of the tests provide information for students, parents, teachers and principals and can be used to improve student achievement.

This year, all schools throughout Victoria will be using an online testing platform. Ahead of the official testing suite commencing from 15th March, on the 14th March, all ARPS students in level 3 and 5 will sit a practice NAPLAN readiness test in order to ensure students are well prepared for their upcoming assessments. Additional information regarding NAPLAN has been provided to parents in hard copy and via Dojo over recent weeks.

Parents who require any further information about NAPLAN can contact their child’s classroom teacher or visit the VCAA website or the ACARA NAPLAN website.
