NAPLAN
In May, students in Year 3, Year 5, Year 7 and Year 9 will participate in NAPLAN Online. NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents to see how their child is progressing in literacy and numeracy against the national standard and compared with their peers throughout Australia. At the classroom level, NAPLAN provides additional information to support teachers’ professional judgement about student progress. Information has been sent home to families about NAPLAN.
For any further information please contact:
Mrs Melanie Scott - Head of Teaching and Learning (Primary) or

who are the NAPLAN coordinators.
