NAPLAN 2018

This year, Year 7 and Year 9 will complete the National Literacy and Numeracy Tests (NAPLAN) across three days from Tuesday 15 May to Thursday 17 May.

On each of the three days the tests will commence in Period one.  Please ensure your daughter arrives on time on these days.  The girls will follow a normal program for the day after the testing is complete.

In the writing task students will either be required to write a narrative or a persuasive task.  In the Numeracy task, students will have 50 minutes using a calculator and 10 minutes without a calculator. 

Your daughter will need to bring her own pencils and calculators.  No iPads or mobile phones can be brought into the room and no rulers are needed.
