NAPLAN News – Year 7 and Year 9

As children progress through their school years, it is very important that checks are made along the way to see how well they are learning the essential skills of reading, writing and mathematics – skills that will set them upon the path to success as adults.

The NAPLAN schedule for Wilsonton State High School is below:

NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents and carers to see how their child is progressing in literacy and numeracy against the national standard and compared with their peers throughout Australia. At the classroom level, NAPLAN provides additional information to support teachers’ professional judgement about student progress.

NAPLAN online is a tailored test that adapts to student responses, providing better assessment and more precise results.

For many children, online NAPLAN tests will be more engaging.

Support your child to understand that the questions they attempt will be more suited to their ability, relieving any concerns they may have, along with the fact that they will be using a computer or device.

NAPLAN Online tailored test design starts with a standard set of questions, then as your child responds to questions, moves to questions that are suited to their ability.

Visit ACARA's NAPLAN website, particularly the frequently asked questions, to find out more about NAPLAN Online.

Advice for parents and caregivers about NAPLAN in general is also available.

More information will be released as we move closer to the testing dates.
