In Term 2 the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests will be held throughout Australia for all students in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. As all tests, except Year 3 Writing, will be done online at Tenison Woods College this year, the test window is longer and is from 9 May to 19 May (Week 2 and 3).

Some children may experience anxiety before or during test situations. All students will be involved in some practice sessions, prior to the actual tests. Some nervousness is natural. Parents and carers should treat NAPLAN test days just like any other school day, as children take signs from their parents and carers about how to handle events where they are likely to be nervous.

If you have any concerns about NAPLAN and your child, including the specific dates of year level testing, please contact your child’s class teacher, or our NAPLAN Coordinator Chris Lloyd: lloyc@tenison.catholic.edu.au

For further information about NAPLAN please visit www.naplan.edu.au. This website contains a comprehensive overview of NAPLAN along with useful parent/caregiver information if you have a child in Year 3, 5, 7, 9.  There is also a public demonstration link if you wish to see for yourselves how the online tests will operate:  http://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/naplan-online/naplan-online-public-demonstration-site
