Student achievements and OLNA 2022
Congratulations to all students who were presented with awards and certificates at the final College Assembly (as pictured above). The full list of award-winners is featured in the year book, the Koinonia, which has been distributed to the youngest members of each family, or is ready for collection.
Students from the Class of 2021 and students in Year 12 for 2022 will be presented with their awards at the commencement of 2022.
Please note the information from the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) regarding OLNA:
To successfully meet the literacy and numeracy requirement, students must demonstrate the skills regarded as essential to meet the demands of everyday life and work in a knowledge-based economy. These skills are described in Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework opens in new window.
These skills must be demonstrated in:
• Literacy (reading and writing)
• Numeracy.
Prequalification
Students who have achieved Band 8 or higher in any of the three components of reading, writing and numeracy in their Year 9 NAPLAN are acknowledged as having demonstrated proficiency in using a range of ACSF Level 3 skills in that component and will not be required to sit the corresponding OLNA test.

The reading and numeracy tests each comprise 45 multiple‐choice questions. Students have 50 minutes to complete each of these tests. The writing test is a typed response of up to 600 words. Students have 60 minutes to complete the writing test. The table below provides a quick guide to each test.
