Learning Matters
YEARS 7 & 9 NAPLAN 2023
All students in Year 7 and Year 9 will take part in the NAPLAN testing from Wednesday 15th March to Monday 27th March. During this time all students will complete three tests in Literacy (Reading, Writing and Conventions of Language) and one test in Numeracy. The NAPLAN schedule will be published in the student bulletin.
To be ready for the NAPLAN test students need to:
- Have at least 8 - 10 hours of sleep the night before a test
- Avoid the use of electronic devices (screen time) one hour before going to sleep
- Have a healthy breakfast and snacks during the testing period
- Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day of a test
- Ensure their laptops are fully functional and charged prior to a test
- Arrive to class on time, settled and ready to do their best in each of the tests.
Over the next couple of weeks students in Years 7 and 9 will have the opportunity to complete a Practice Test so that they can familiarise themselves with the Online National Assessment Platform.
Students may also wish to familiarise themselves with the online test tools via the use of the ACARA NAPLAN Online public demonstration site.
Please note any student absent on the day of a NAPLAN test will need to provide a doctor’s certificate and arrangements will be made for the student to complete the test at another time determined by the NAPLAN Coordinator.
If any students have any issues with their laptop in the lead up to the NAPLAN, they are asked to see Simon or Chuong as soon as possible.
For more information about NAPLAN Online, families are encouraged to visit nap.edu.au. Students that are concerned about NAPLAN or have any questions, are encouraged to talk with their PC teacher, Year Level Leader, Maths or English teachers.
We wish all our Year 7 and Year 9 students all the very best for their upcoming NAPLAN tests.
