Variations to test dates for classes or groups of students
ACARA has advised that only schools with
compelling reasons that are
outside of their control will be granted approval to vary test dates. Schools that book a camp in test week will not be granted approval to vary their NAPLAN test dates.
​Future dates for NAPLAN can be found on the
NAP website's Key dates page.
