07 May 2019
During May 2019 students at our school in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 will sit the NAPLAN paper assessments. The schedule for tests is as follows:
Tuesday 14 May: Language Conventions test (spelling, grammar and punctuation) Writing test
Wednesday 15 May: Reading test
Thursday 16 May: Numeracy test
On Friday 17 May a ‘catch-up’ day is scheduled for students who missed a test.
Students may be exempt from the NAPLAN tests if they:
- are newly arrived in Australia (less than one year before the test) and with a language background other than English, or
- have significant intellectual disability and/or significant co-existing conditions which severely limit their capacity to participate in the tests.
All other students are expected to participate in the tests.
Disability adjustments which reflect the student’s normal level of support in the classroom may be provided. Large print, braille, coloured paper versions and electronic tests are also available to meet the needs of individual students. Access to disability adjustments or exemption from the tests must be discussed with the school coordinator and a parent or carer consent form must be signed. If this applies to your child, please contact the school.
Students may be withdrawn from NAPLAN by their parent or carer after consultation with the school coordinator. To withdraw your child from NAPLAN, a parent or carer consent form must be signed. Please contact the school if you need to discuss your child’s participation in NAPLAN.
For any other questions please contact the NAPLAN team on 1300 119 556 or naplan.nsw@nesa.nsw.edu.au.
