Our Year 3 and Year 5 students recently participated in the Australia wide Coordinated
NAPLAN Practice Test. Students completed the following tests:
45-minute Omnibus test which included Reading, Conventions of Language and
Numeracy tests for Years 3 and 5 students
42-minute Writing test for Years 5
As well as the students becoming familiar with the assessment platform, it was an
opportunity to test our technical readiness for the Naplan online testing period in Term
2 Week 4 and 5 from May 11th to May 22nd.
One of the advantages of our students completing NAPLAN Online is that their results
are expected to come back within weeks, rather than months. While NAPLAN is just
one of many assessment methods to track your child’s progress, this quicker
turnaround will mean the results can better inform classroom practice and help
advance your child’s learning here at St John Vianney’s.
Students and parents of all year levels who would like to know more about NAPLAN
Online are welcome to visit the public demonstration site. Here you can take a practice
test and learn more about the special features of NAPLAN Online:
