Achievement: NAPLAN 2017

Strong NAPLAN results again in 2017

All Year 7 and Year 9 parents should have either collected or have received in the mail their son or daughter’s individualised NAPLAN report and an accompanying letter. The NAPLAN tests are helpful in providing an overall snapshot of how the student body is progressing. The snapshot tells us that Northcote’s Yr 7 and Yr 9 groups over the last five years achieve (in all NAPLAN test areas of Numeracy, Reading, Writing, Spelling Grammar and Punctuation); 

- Well above the national average 

- Well above the state average 

- At consistently the expected level as demographically similar schools. 

Of particular note are the following points:

• Consistent high level of relative growth for our Year 7 students from Year 5 across all test areas Reading, Writing, Spelling, Numeracy and Grammar and Punctuation.
• High level of relative growth for our Year 9 students from Year 7 across the test areas of Reading, Writing and Grammar and Punctuation

Northcote High School is committed to performing consistently better than the expected level of similar schools which is why we have developed our Instructional Framework to develop our staff in the use of high impact instructional strategies and are embarking on the implementation of the Northcote Model to renew our curriculum.
