Assistant Principal's Report

From the Assistant Principal

NAPLAN 

Next week students in years 3 and 5 will be involved in NAPLAN testing.

NAPLAN consists of four tests, Writing, Reading, Conventions of Language and Numeracy.

As mentioned in previous correspondence, at our school this year NAPLAN testing in all areas except year 3 writing will be conducted online.

Our school is one of a number of trial schools across Australia before online testing is rolled out nation wide next year. Our teacher reported that the testing went very smoothly during on line practice tests last term.

Please find below a timetable of NAPLAN testing at our school.

A brochure that answers the most common questions from parents is also attached to this edition of Capers. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at school, or contact the test administration authority at nap.edu.au/TAA
