NAPLAN tests start next week on 13 March and run until 25 March. An information guide for parents, families and carers of students participating in NAPLAN is now available and includes frequently asked questions. The guide, prepared by ACARA (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority) is available here – https://bit.ly/3wpdI8w.

NAPLAN assesses the literacy and numeracy skills that students are learning through the school curriculum. It is important to remember the main purpose of NAPLAN is to provide additional information for teachers, schools, and parents about how students are progressing, and to help identify areas for improvement.
