NAPLAN Results
Our Year 7 and Year 9 students sat the NAPLAN tests in March of this year, and we are very pleased to acknowledge their strong achievements. These results reflect the focus and effort students have applied to their learning, not only this year but over a number of years.
Both cohorts achieved results that were well above the NSW state average and also above the results of statistically similar schools across the domains of Reading, Writing, Numeracy, Grammar and Punctuation, and Spelling. A particular highlight is that around 80% of students in both Year 7 and Year 9 were placed in the Strong or Exceeding bands across the domains.
This success reflects the sustained effort of both teachers and students over the past three years, with a clear emphasis on strengthening literacy and numeracy across the school. A particular focus has been placed on developing students’ reading and writing skills, alongside a whole-school approach to embedding numeracy in every subject area. These strategies are making a genuine difference, and our students should feel proud of their achievements.
NAPLAN provides a snapshot of our students’ literacy and numeracy achievement at a moment in time. While this information is valuable, we use it alongside a variety of other data sources to gain a holistic view of student learning. This approach allows us to celebrate areas of strength, identify opportunities for growth, and ensure all students are supported to reach their potential.
We congratulate our students on these excellent results and thank staff for their ongoing commitment to building a strong learning culture. We look forward to using these insights to further strengthen teaching and learning this year and beyond.
