NAPLAN
Years 3, 5 7 and 9 student reports are to go home Friday 26 July to families to celebrate and discuss their student's achievement in this year's NAPLAN testing. Be mindful that these tests were conducted in March and are a snapshot in time of student achievement. NAPLAN assessments are one part of the "puzzle" that combine to provide a student's profile of success and areas for further development.
Students can use NAPLAN results to identify skills they have proficient understanding and application in as well as identify aspects where further effort and understanding is required for additional progress.
Teachers can use NAPLAN results to identify and challenge higher-performing students, to confirm who are making steady progress as well as to support those who are experiencing difficulty in achieving proficiency.
For school systems and governments NAPLAN provides helpful data to support school improvement plans, funding of projects and informing good teaching/learning strategies.
