NAPLAN Information

I have had a few queries about NAPLAN so thought I'd give some information here.

NAPLAN is next week.  We have two tests on Tuesday, 10 May - one first up and one after recess.  The other two tests will be given on Wednesday, 11 May and Thursday, 12 May, during the first sessions.  Please ensure that students arrive on time to school, have a good nights sleep before and a good breakfast.

We have been doing some practise tests in class, which I have marked and asked students to take home.  I have been very impressed with the results from these.  In Year 3 the Bands extend from 1 - 6.  Band 2 is the minimum standard for Year 3 and Band 6 is as high as they can go.  I have written the band on the front of the practise tests, however, this is just a guide and the results may be different in the actual test.

I have set some NAPLAN tasks on Studyladder for students to do. We will do some of these during our computer lessons however, it would be good if they could do some at home also.

At the end of the day, it is one test on one day, and all I ask is that students do their best.  So far they all seem excited rather than worried, which is a good sign.
