2013 NAPLAN tests: 14-16 May

The National Assessment Program (NAPLAN) will be held for Year 3 students on Tuesday 14th May, Wednesday 15th May and Thursday 16th May.

The test administration process is followed uniformly across the country which means that tests have a strict timeframe. The tests will be held in the mornings. We begin on Tuesday with Language Conventions (40 minutes) then followed by Writing (40 minutes) Reading is on the Wednesday (45 minutes) and Numeracy is on Thursday (45 minutes).

It is important that children are here on time in the morning otherwise we need to withdraw them from the test and provide a catch-up test later in the day, which is not the ideal.

If you have any queries regarding NAPLAN testing, please feel free to contact your neighbourhood teachers. A pamphlet issued by the Victorian State Government gives their perspective on the testing program.
