The National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), will again take place in 2021.  All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 will complete these national tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy.

These tests provide information on how students are progressing against national minimum standards of literacy and numeracy skills expected for each year level.  These tests will once again be completed using an online platform with the exception of the Grade 3 writing test, which will still be paper based.

Parents of students in Grades 3 and 5 will receive an individual report that shows their child’s results and a comparison of their child’s performance against all other Australian students in their year level.

For students in Years 5, 7 and 9, the results from the 2021 tests will provide parents and schools with important information on progress made since they last participated in NAPLAN testing in 2019. 

The formal testing process for NAPLAN 2021 will occur from Tuesday 11th May 2021 to Friday 21st May 2021.

Students in Grades 3 and 5 have already completed practice NAPLAN tests to ensure they are comfortable with using the online platform.

Parents of Grade 3 and 5 students will receive an information brochure explaining the testing process.  For further information about the national tests, including test samples, frequently asked questions and the test schedule, please visit the national NAPLAN website at: http://www.nap.edu.au
