\"\"Message for Year 2 Parents and Carers<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the learning opportunities for students, MLC School engages Academic Assessment Services to conduct a series of diagnostic assessment tasks as students progress through their schooling. This type of assessment occurs when students are in Year 2, Year 4, Year 6, Year 8 and Year 10.<\/p>\n

Students who are currently in Year 2\u00a0will complete some of these assessments on Tuesday 4 November 2025.\u00a0<\/strong>The assessments are designed for Year 2\u00a0students and are of suitable duration (approximately one hour in total).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The assessments will measure ability in Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, and you will receive a report detailing your daughter\u2019s results later this year. From Year 4, performance in these tests also measures learning growth over a two-year period, providing information about how your daughter is progressing and informing how we can best support her into the future.<\/p>\n

The results, together with other assessment data, are a useful resource for us in identifying and targeting individual learning needs, including those of high potential students.<\/p>\n

Please note that there is no additional cost to you for this assessment service.<\/p>\n

Your daughter should not be concerned or anxious about this testing. It does not require any preparation or study, and students are not required to bring anything with them that they don\u2019t usually bring to school. The best way to support your daughter is to ensure that she arrives on time, relaxed and refreshed after a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
