Since 2008, the annual National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) has taken place for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

NAPLAN helps parents, carers and educators to see if students are meeting important numeracy and literacy standards.

This year our Year 9 students will complete their NAPLAN tests online via a computer, rather than using the traditional paper and pencil.

Moving online brings many benefits and opportunities including providing better assessment, more precise results and faster turnaround of information.

A critical step in preparing for NAPLAN online is our Year 9 students’ participation in a Practice Test on March 28th.

The purpose of the Practice Test is to ensure students are familiar with their device and the online test environment, as well as to test school and national infrastructure systems and processes.

The Practice Test is not another NAPLAN and will not formally assess students who participate.
