Year 7 and 9 students have been busy over the recent week undertaking and preparing for NAPLAN Testing.

Students have undertaken practice testing to learn about the NAPLAN Portal. Students have then all participated in testing for reading, language conventions, writing and numeracy.

 We would like to remind parents that NAPLAN is just one aspect of a school’s assessment and reporting process – it does not replace ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance; however, students and parents may use individual results to discuss progress with teachers.

 The reason why NAPLAN is conducted online is because NAPLAN online provides a better assessment and more precise results.

One of the main benefits of NAPLAN online is that it uses tailored (or adaptive) testing. This means that students receive questions better suited to their abilities, so they can show what they know and can do.

Online testing also allows us to provide a wide range of accessibility options to support students with disability to access NAPLAN.

Feedback from students is that they find the online test more engaging.
