Message from Michele Marquet

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week, it was the turn of our Year 4 students to experience their annual camp at the beautiful Shoalhaven location of Waterslea. They had an excellent time! Next term, students in Years 3 and 5 will have the opportunity to go to camp in the Blue Mountains and at Port Hacking, respectively. Once again, we thank the accompanying staff who worked so hard to ensure our students had a safe and wonderful experience. 

NAPLAN 2024 Y3 and Y5 Parent and Carer Information
Each year, the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is undertaken by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students will participate in tests for writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.

At Cranbrook Junior School, NAPLAN 2024 will take place from Wednesday, 13 March to Friday, 15 March.

NAPLAN is just one part of our school learning assessment program. The tests assess literacy and numeracy skills your child is already learning at school.

In preparation for NAPLAN, our school will undertake activities to help students become familiar with the format and functionality of the online tests. These activities are not an assessment of student ability and will not be marked. Excessive preparation for NAPLAN is not required nor recommended.

The public demonstration site, found here, is available to see the types of questions, tools and functions used in the NAPLAN tests.

Further information about NAPLAN is available on the NESA website here.

If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact your child’s teacher. We look forward to another week of learning and fun!

Kind wishes,

Michele Marquet
