Each year the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is
undertaken 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 2024 will take place from Wednesday, 13 March to Friday, 15 March.
NAPLAN is just one part of our school learning assessment program. The tests assess
literacy and numeracy skills your child is already learning at school.

In preparation for NAPLAN, our school will undertake activities to help students become
familiar with the format and functionality of the online tests. These activities are not an
assessment of student ability and will not be marked. Excessive preparation for NAPLAN
is not required nor recommended.

The public demonstration site
(https://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site) is available to
see the types of questions, tools and functions used in the NAPLAN tests.

Further information about NAPLAN is available on the NESA website

lum/naplan/parent-information).

If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact your child’s teacher.
