OARS Testing

All students in Years 7-10 have now completed OARS online testing. Testing occurs in

Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Maths, and General Ability. Teachers are using this data to plan for improved learning and to better cater for individual learning needs:

The ACER Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) are an Australian series of tests designed to provide objective information to teachers about their students’ skills and understandings in a range of key areas. At the centre of each PAT test is a described proficiency scale, providing both quantitative and qualitative data on student performance, making the PAT tests ideal for understanding students’ current strengths and weaknesses, informing teaching and learning, and monitoring progress over time.
