Years 7-10 2025 PAT Testing

17 October 2025 

Dear Year 7-10 Parents/Carers

Years 7-10 2025 PAT Testing

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring that our students continue to grow in their learning, we use a variety of methods to monitor student progress. This involves regularly gathering data that allows to identify each student’s strengths and areas of challenge which can then be used to provide targeted intervention.

As well as using school-based data, and national standardised testing data from NAPLAN and HSC data, each year, all students in Year 7, 8, 9 and 10, complete two achievement tests, PAT Maths and PAT Reading.

These tests will be conducted on Monday 20 October, during Period 1 and 3. Each test is 45 minutes in length and is completed online. Students will be sent a message asking them to ensure that they have a fully charged laptop with them on Monday and they will be emailed their username and password.

Kind regards

Melissa Williams

Director of Learning and Teaching
