NAPLAN 2019

On Wednesday, the Year 3 and 5 students participated in a practice test for NAPLAN Online, which will take place in weeks 4 & 5 this term.

I do remind parents who have children in these year levels that it would be appreciated if all students can bring in their headphones for these tests in weeks 4 & 5. Students who do not have a full sized iPad will be provided with one by the school.

An information sheet for parents can be found at the following link:
