NAPLAN 2022

Students from Years 3 and 5 will be participating in the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) 2022. NAPLAN Tests for Years 3 and 5 will consist of four different tests - Writing, Reading, Conventions of Language and Numeracy and are scheduled to take place from Tuesday 10 to Friday 20 May.

Students from these year levels will be participating in some practice tests during the final two weeks of term.

At John Paul II we use a variety of tasks and assessments within our classes to inform our practice and provide feedback for students. NAPLAN results are used primarily for identifying general patterns of students' learning progress which can provide information for review and improvement of teaching practices.

We do stress that NAPLAN is just one test on one day and it is a priority for us that the tests are run in a smooth and calm manner in order to avoid stress and we trust that parents and carers will support us in this endeavour.

If you have any questions or concerns around your child and NAPLAN please do not hesitate to make contact with either Lauren Hall or Alison Wightman.
