Our students in Years 3 and 5 will be undertaking NAPLAN testing online in May this year. Moving NAPLAN online brings many advantages including a test design that offers test items tailored to students’ knowledge and ability.

We will also be participating in a national practice test on Monday 23 March. This is an excellent opportunity to fine tune any technical and logistical needs, as well as familiarise students and teachers with the online testing process.

Parents and caregivers of children in these NAPLAN year levels will need to be aware of important information relating to privacy, which can be found on the NAPLAN website’s parent information page.

As our school runs a bring your own iPad program, you can assist us by ensuring the NAPLAN Online locked-down browser is downloaded prior to testing. You should have received an email from both myself and your child's class teacher with instructions on how to do this.

Information about BYO devices is also available on ACARA’s website.

We will keep you up-to-date in the lead-up to May, but if there’s anything you need in the meantime you can email Mr Meijboom.
