NAPLAN News

In preparation for the 2021 NAPLAN tests, the Year 3 and 5 students will be involved in the nationwide Co-ordinated Practice Test. This will be held on Thursday 25th March. 

The Year 3 students will undertake the Omnibus test. The Year 5 students will be involved in the Omnibus Test and the Writing test. The Omnibus test is a single test that includes questions from reading, conventions of language and numeracy.

The Co-ordinated Practice Tests

• allow students to become familiar with the online portal and the look of the tests and the types of questions
• provides the opportunity for ACARA, who oversee the NAPLAN testing, to assess the capabilities of their system under the pressure of all users accessing the portal
• gives us, as a school, the chance test our own capabilities for running the test and allows us to detect any possible technical issues

Further details for the NAPLAN testing will be provided to Year 3 and 5 parents next week.
