NAPLAN Testing (soon)

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.   NAPLAN is a nationwide measure through which parents, teachers, schools, education authorities, governments and the broader community can determine whether or not young Australians are developing the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the critical foundation for other learning and for their productive and rewarding participation in the community.

NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents to see how their child is progressing against national standards in literacy and numeracy and over time.

All MCC students in Years 3, 5, 7, & 9 will be automatically enrolled in the NAPLAN tests.  

In years past, some parents have expressed reservations about their children sitting these tests and have asked that they be excused.  Please be sure to speak to Mr Tresize or send him an email as soon as possible if you have any concerns about your child sitting the tests.  

This year the tests will be conducted between March 15 & 27.  This is earlier than in previous years (May).  If you wish to withdraw your child from the test, we need to know as soon as possible.
