NAPLAN 2022 Schedule - Tuesday 10 May - Friday 13 May 2022

For students absent during week 4, there will be catch up arrangements made for them to complete the tests during week 5. 

NAPLAN assesses literacy and numeracy skills that students have already learnt through the school curriculum. Teachers will ensure that students are 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. NAPLAN tests are constructed to give students an opportunity to demonstrate skills they have learnt over time through the school curriculum, and NAPLAN test days should be treated as just another routine event on the school calendar. 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 does not recommend the use of commercial products, such as booklets and practice tests, to help your child prepare for NAPLAN tests. None of the commercial products currently on the market were endorsed by ACARA. The use of services by coaching providers is not recommended.

Teneriffe Festival 

We have been approached to provide a stall and performance at the upcoming Teneriffe Festival on Saturday 28th May. We will have 2x20 minute performances including a Prep performance ‘Bear Hunt’ and some musical acts on the Kids Stage at 10:00am and 11:30am (either side of the Bluey performance). Please mark this in your diary. It’ll be a great day out and a great opportunity to show case our wonderful school. Further information about the festival can be found at-
