NAPLAN 2012 tests will be held from 15-17 May.
NAPLAN is a valuable assessment tool for governments, schools and parents to understand and improve the literacy and numeracy outcomes of Australian students.
NAPLAN provides parents of students in Years 3/5/7/9 with a report on their child’s performance in literacy and numeracy against the national average. Schools and teachers usE NAPLAN data to improve teaching and learning programs in the classroom.
Specific information regarding the program, including details about the tests, participation, special provisions and a wide range of other issues can be found on the NAP website.
The VCAA will forward student reports directly to schools when they are available later in the year. Parents with queries regarding the distribution of the NAPLAN reports should contact their child's school in the first instance.
