NAPLAN Testing

As many 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 11 May – Writing Test	Year 3 will complete this with pen and paper and Year 5 will sit this test online. The girls will also complete the and Language conventions Test (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar).
Wednesday 12 May	Reading Test
Thursday 13 May	Numeracy Test

Years 7 and 9

NESA requires us to complete the writing test first. This will take place on Thursday 13 May.

The other test domains will take place as a part of the SCEGGS examination week in Week 5. The exact date of each of these tests will be provided to the girls as a part of their examination timetable, which they will receive next week.

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.
