NAPLAN 2022 - Year 3 and 5

Online Schedule - Date Claimers

NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents and carers to see how their child is progressing in literacy and numeracy against the national standard and compared with their peers throughout Australia. At the classroom level, NAPLAN can provide additional information to support teachers’ understanding about student progress.

NAPLAN assesses literacy and numeracy skills that students have already learnt through the school curriculum. Teachers have been making students familiar with the test formats and will provide appropriate support and guidance. Excessive preparation is not useful and can lead to unnecessary anxiety. If you have any questions about your child's preparation for NAPLAN, please make a time to speak with your child's teacher.

To see the types of questions and functionalities in the online tests, you can visit the public demonstration site page.

NAPLAN test days should be treated as just another routine event. The best way you can help your child prepare for NAPLAN is to reassure them that NAPLAN tests are just one part of their school program, and to advise them to simply do the best they can on the day.

ACARA and Milton SS does not recommend the use of commercial products, such as booklets and practice tests, to help your child prepare for NAPLAN tests and are NOT endorsed by ACARA. 

Student Absences: Please note that if a student is absent the make up test is the next day. If they also miss this then they would have missed that particular test for this year.
