NAPLAN Testing

NAPLAN Testing

As many of you would be aware, NAPLAN testing will once again be conducted online this year. As the tests are conducted online there is a two-week window in which we are asked to conduct the tests. The arrangements we have put in place this year are as follows:

Years 3 and 5

  • Tuesday 10 May – Writing Test – Year 3 will complete this with pen and paper and Year 5 will sit this test online.
  • Wednesday 11 May – the Reading Test will take place on this day. The girls will also complete the Language conventions Test (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar).
  • Thursday 12 May – the Numeracy Test will take place on this day.

Years 7 and 9

  • Wednesday 11 May – The Writing Test will be completed first, followed by the Reading Test.
  • Thursday 12 May – The girls will complete the Language Conventions Test (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar). The Numeracy Test will also take place on this day.

If a student is absent on the day of a test, arrangements will be made for them to catch up on the test, provided they return to school within the testing window.

If you have any questions or you would like further information about anything relating to NAPLAN please contact either Cristi Wilsmore, Deputy Head of Primary (Teaching and Learning) or myself.
