Memorandum to Schools 118/2007

Student Registration For The National Assessment Program – Literacy And Numeracy Tests 2008

The first National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests will be conducted on Tuesday 13 May, Wednesday 14 May and Thursday 15 May 2008. The NAPLAN replaces the Achievement Improvement Monitor ( AIM) state-wide tests that were administered by the VCAA. The NAPLAN will also be administered by the VCAA.

All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 from Victorian schools will be expected to participate in the NAPLAN tests unless they are exempted because of a learning disability or because they have been learning English for less than 12 months.

Students undertaking the NAPLAN tests will be registered via a pre-enrolment process prior to the tests.

Pre-enrolment allows individual student details to be printed on test booklets. This provides significant efficiencies in the administration of the tests at the school level and in the processing of test results.

In 2008, the following processes will apply for NAPLAN test pre-enrolment for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9:

• Government schools. As a result of an initiative between the DEECD and the VCAA, all students at Government schools will be pre-enrolled in the NAPLAN tests based on their enrolment status on the CASES21 system, as of the 2008 February School Census Day, 29 February. This initiative means that Government schools will no longer have to manually upload their enrolment data, as has been required in previous years.

• Catholic schools. As in previous years, the Catholic Education Office Melbourne (CEOM) will collect and provide student registration information to the VCAA on behalf of all Catholic schools, as part of their 2008 February school census process.

• Independent schools. As in previous years, independent schools will be required to upload data files via a secure web site directly to the VCAA. This process will take place during February.

Further details regarding student registration and pre-enrolment processes will be provided in a letter that will be sent to schools early in Term 1, 2008.

For enquiries about the NAPLAN student registration process, schools should contact the VCAA on 1800 820 122 (toll free).
