NAPLAN Year 3 and 5

Today I sent out detailed information to Year 3 and 5 parents about NAPLAN 2022.

Year 3 and 5 students will participate in NAPLAN from Tuesday 10th May to Friday 13th May (Week 3, Term 2). There will be make-up testing week the following week (Week 4). Students will also participate in a practice test next Friday (Week 8, Term 1). If you would like your child to be withdrawn from NAPLAN testing, please contact me directly at rebekah.brown@cg.catholic.edu.au 

There is a public demonstration site that can be accessed by students and their parents. The demonstration site has tests which can be used by students to familiarise themselves with the types of questions and related functionalities available in the online NAPLAN assessment. You can access the public demonstration site at the following link:

Engaging in maths activities is a fun way to enjoy this day by using these tips:

• Practice maths problems and equations online

• Join mathletics as a family

Students can also participate in the worlds largest online mathematics competition. For more information click here.

Fun Fact:

Curious about how many maths competitors have competed against one another at one time? The Guiness World Record for the largest maths competition was set on World Maths Day, March 3, 2010 with 1,204,766 participants from 235 countries around the globe.
