NAPLAN
Shortly we will commence our NAPLAN testing schedule at Emerald Secondary College.
As you are no doubt aware, the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a literacy and numeracy assessment that students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sit each year. It is the only national assessment all Australian students have the opportunity to undertake.
At Emerald Secondary College, we consider NAPLAN to be a crucial part of our school’s assessment and reporting process, by providing teachers with additional information about the students’ educational progress. By assessing the reading, writing and numeracy skills that students are learning through the school curriculum, it allows parents and carers to see how their child is progressing against national proficiency standards. This collection of data also enables teachers to provide support and/or extensions for students to best suit their educational needs.
The NAPLAN test window starts on Wednesday 13 March 2024 and finishes on Monday 25 March 2024. Our school will schedule the tests within this testing window. Please see the brochure below which contains more detailed information about this important National Assessment Program.
