Year 9

NAPLAN

NAPLAN takes place in Week 3. On Tuesday 15 May is Language Conventions and Writing. On Wednesday 16 May is Reading and on Thursday 17 May is Numeracy. The NAPLAN tests are designed to assess the skills of Australian students in literacy and numeracy. The specific purposes are:

• to collect data from the population of Yrs 3, 5, 7 and 9 students for reporting to parents/carers and schools for systematic reporting
• to accommodate the assessment of students against national minimum standards.

To participate fully and efficiently each student should bring the following equipment:

• 2B or HB pencils – no mechanical pencils
• An eraser
• A sharpener
• A calculator (for the Numeracy – Calculator allowed test)
• A blue or black pen (for the Writing Task)

Information about the tests for parents and schools is available on the NAPLAN website.
