NAPLAN

YEAR 9 NAPLAN CERTIFICATES OF ACIEVEMENT

The NAPLAN testing period is from Tuesday May 11 to Friday May 21. At KSC we are striving to achieve the best growth results in South Gippsland and this is the message we are giving our students. 

A new feature of the NAPLAN assessment is being launched this year, with the award of Year 9 Certificates of Achievement.

The new certificates aim to celebrate and recognise the importance of both excellence and learning growth.

Beginning in 2021, Year 9 students who achieve outstanding results or who significantly improve their results in NAPLAN tests will receive a NAPLAN Certificate of Achievement.

The certificates will be awarded for two categories of achievement:

• Category one: the achievement of excellence through getting a result in the top band for reading or numeracy, or both.
• Category two: the achievement of outstanding learning growth through improvement by two or more bands between the NAPLAN Year 7 and Year 9 tests for reading or numeracy, or both.

For more information about the new certificate and measures for learning growth, refer to Year 9 NAPLAN certificates of achievement on the Department of Education website.
