ANNOUNCEMENTS
Naplan 2023
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a point in time assessment of literacy and numeracy skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in the annual NAPLAN tests in writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. All NSW schools will sit NAPLAN online in 2023.
The test window for NAPLAN is between 15th and 27th March 2023 (Weeks 8-10 this term). Exact dates for each of the 4 tests will be shared with parents in the coming weeks.
Please view the 'Information for parents and carers' sheet for more general information. The public demonstration site is also an excellent tool to see some of the different types of test questions for each of the tests. It can be accessed through the following website: www.nap.edu.au/default.aspx?
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr Edwards through the office.
