NAPLAN
The National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual national assessment for all students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. All students in these year levels are expected to participate in tests in reading, writing, language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. NAPLAN is the measure through which governments, education authorities, schools, teachers and parents can determine whether or not young Australians have the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the critical foundation for other learning and for their productive and rewarding participation in the community.
NAPLAN tests are scheduled for a two-week period in Term 1, rather than Term 2. The Year 3 Writing test is paper based the other tests are all online. Our students will use their Chromebooks and complete the tests in their classrooms wearing headphones. Classroom teachers will be administering the tests and will go through all instructions beforehand.
