NAPLAN 2025

Each year the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is sat by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students will participate in tests for writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.

Due to the impact of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, our school will commence NAPLAN testing on Monday, 17 March 2025. All Year 7 & 9 writing tests will take place on this day. This delay allows us to focus on ensuring our students are ready and supported.

NAPLAN is just one part of our College’s learning assessment program. The tests assess literacy and numeracy skills your child is already learning at school, so the best preparation is their everyday classroom learning. Our school will also undertake activities to help students become familiar with the types of questions and tools available in the online tests.

NAPLAN LockDown Browser

All Year 7 & 9 students must have the NAPLAN lockdown browser installed on their devices. Instructions for downloading were sent directly to students. Please ensure your child has successfully installed the software.

The public demonstration site available for you to see the format of the online tests.

Further Information

Further information about NAPLAN is available on the NESA website and the NAP website.

To ensure the testing goes smoothly it is crucial that all students come to school prepared on the testing days with a fully charged device and headphones.
