2021 NAPLAN RESULTS

The results of our grade 3 and 5 students on the national testing (NAPLAN) was distributed to students and their families last week. We believe that students will be able to look closely at their NAPLAN achievements with their parents with a degree of satisfaction and pride and knowledge that they have done their best.

The diagrams below are the Year 3 and 5 ‘School Summary Reports’ for the areas tested showing the aggregated results for the year levels. The orange boxes represent the school’s performance while the green boxes represent the State. The horizontal line represents the medium score (mid-score). Once again, we believe that our 2021 aggregated results in both years 3 and 5 are ones of which to be proud. As a staff, we look at the individual and cohort data and compare this formal assessment with other relevant data on our students. This information informs our programs, planning and future professional learning priorities.

Our goals and priorities at CPS are to support our students from prep to year 6 academically, socially and emotionally. As a staff, we regularly discuss our passions to ensure instilling independence, confidence and a love of learning across many curriculum areas in the students we support and care for each and every day. NAPLAN is just one assessment of each child’s learning, and we are committed to developing the whole child through a wide curriculum that extends well beyond what NAPLAN assesses.
