NAPLAN Online 2019.

As you may be aware, New Farm will go digital for NAPLAN this year. All tests in Year 5 and all tests except the Writing task in Year3 will be completed online.

Over the next few months Year 3&5 teachers, with their classes, will work through sample online tests so students become familiar with how the online testing works and how they can monitor their progress throughout the tests and know how to utilise any built-in tools.

A number of teachers will be trained in how to use and administer NAPLAN Online.

In the meantime, I encourage all students to improve their touch typing skills, especially Year5 students to assist them in their writing task.  The school is researching what other schools are currently using and will advise and recommend a product in the next few weeks.  There are many free products out there so don’t wait for us if you want to get started.
