NAPLAN

Dear Parents and/or Caregivers 

Each year the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is sat

by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students will participate in tests for writing, reading,

conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.

NAPLAN 2025 will take place from Wednesday 12 March to Monday 24 March. 

The College NAPLAN scheduled assessment is  Wednesday 12th, Thursday 13th & Friday 14th March. Final assessment date for catch up assessment is Monday 17th March. 

NAPLAN is just one part of our school’s learning assessment program. 

The tests assess literacy and numeracy skills your child is already learning at school, so the best preparation is their everyday classroom learning. Our school will also undertake activities to help students become familiar with the types of questions and tools available in the online tests.

The public demonstration site (https://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site) is available for you to see the format of the online tests.

Further information about NAPLAN is available on the NESA website

(https://www.nsw.gov.au/education-and-training/nesa/naplan) and the NAP website

Mr Geoffrey Dickson
