NAPLAN Information - Year 7 and 9

Each year the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is undertaken by Australian students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

Year 7 and Year 9 NAPLAN testing is being held at the College on the following days:

  • Wednesday 12 March - Writing
  • Thursday 13 March - Reading
  • Friday 14 March - Conventions of Language
  • Monday 17 March - Numeracy

Please ensure that your child has the following items everyday during this time:

  • Fully charged device
  • Headphones (that are capable of being plugged into their device) 'Airpods' or similar wireless devices are NOT permitted

If you wish to withdraw your child from testing please contact the College via email kmps@lism.catholic.edu.au and a withdrawal form will be sent to you for completion.

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 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.

If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact the College.
