NAPLAN results on their way!

Love them or hate them, NAPLAN results are on their way!  The NAPLAN 2015 summary information has been released today and parents of students who participated in this year’s NAPLAN tests will start receiving their individual student reports this month. ACARA CEO, Robert Randall, has penned an open letter encouraging parents and carers to keep the reports in context.

NAPLAN provides information on your child’s literacy and numeracy achievement and summarises information for all children at a school, state and national level. It helps you to know how well your child is achieving in literacy and numeracy and track them against students in the same year level across Australia.  Evidence shows that a well-rounded education, including the pursuit of other activities such as sport and art, contributes to the development of literacy and numeracy knowledge and skills. All activities are crucial to the school program as they help develop informed, happy children who are confident in their own abilities.

Overall, the results from the NAPLAN tests in May show stable national achievement, as well as some improvements nationally.
