NAPLAN – BEING PREPARED

NAPLAN

NAPLAN takes place this coming week for students in Years 7 and 9. The program assesses literacy and numeracy skills that students are already learning through the school curriculum. Teachers have ensured students are familiar with the test formats and will provide appropriate support and guidance during the tests. The best way you can help your child prepare for NAPLAN is to reassure your child that NAPLAN tests are just one part of their school program, and to urge them to simply do the best they can on the day. All students in Years 7 and 9 are required to have their ‘Just Right’ reading text with them each day, and a calculator for the Numeracy test on Thursday, so that they can be prepared and ready to give the test their best effort. In addition, please make efforts, as always, to ensure your child gets proper rest, nutritious food and encouragement.
