NAPLAN Testing 2022
Students in Year 7 and Year 9 will participate in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) on Wednesday 11 May to Friday 13 May.
NAPLAN Tests assess student knowledge and skills in writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. The results of the tests provide information for students, parents and teachers and can be used to increase student-learning progress.
This year all tests will be completed online. NAPLAN Online delivers numerous benefits including:
• a ‘tailored test’ design that adapts to correct and incorrect student responses, providing a more precise understanding of student achievement;
• innovative use of technology, including a more engaging test design and a wider range of item types;
All students are expected to participate in the NAPLAN Online tests. Letters have been sent via Operoo and reminders about requirements for the test days, via SEQTA Message.
Information about the tests is also available on the SEQTA NAPLAN Portal Page. In addition to schedules and parent communications, you will find a range of practice tests that the students can use in preparation.
Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences
Thank you to all of the families who attended our online Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences last week and this week. It was wonderful to have many parents and students discussing their learning progress at Marian College.
On-going Engagement
It is now important that parents remain engaged in their daughter’s learning. To assist in this process, please ensure that you log into the SEQTA Engage Parent Portal on a regular basis to review results, feedback and student reflection.
Ask your daughter questions about her learning, for example; what she did well, what she wants to achieve and what strategies she needs to put in place to improve next time. These discussions do have a positive impact on student learning progress.
