This week our Year 3 and Year 5 students participated in NAPLAN. Each student has given their best effort and we are all very proud of them. The four tests they completed were:

• • • • • Reading 
        • Writing
        • Language Conventions 
        • Numeracy

What is NAPLAN?

"As children progress through their school years, it is very important that checks are made along the way to see how well they are learning the essential skills of reading, writing and mathematics – skills that will set them upon the path to success as adults.

NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents to see how their child is progressing in literacy and numeracy against the national standard and compared with their peers throughout Australia. At the classroom level, NAPLAN provides additional information to support teachers’ professional judgement about student progress" (NAPLAN, 2016).
