NAPLAN

All Year 3 and 5 students will be sitting NAPLAN testing in Weeks 3 & 4. This year, students will be doing the test online, which is very exciting! We have been doing some practice NAPLAN questions in class and I have been extremely proud of the way the children have applied themselves. Please note that no homework will be given over these two weeks, however, students are still encouraged to read every day.

Here are a few things you can do to support your child at home.

-Please ensure they have plenty of sleep the night before
-In the mornings having a healthy, nutritious breakfast is also beneficial
-Encourage them to give it their absolute best
- Discuss any feelings and emotions they have coming up to and after the tests

Below is the NAPLAN timetable:

Please ensure your child is present for each test, as a catch-up test may not be possible, due to time constraints. There will be test conditions once each test has commenced and no movement in or out of the classroom, to avoid disruptions.

I am sure that each child is going to give the test their best effort. It is a fantastic opportunity to see where your child sits in relation to other children around Australia.
