March 12, 2025 12:00 AM - March 18, 2025 12:00 AM at Merici College
NAPLAN testing will occur at Merici on the dates outlined in the image.
Students must bring a charged laptop and their headphones for each of the sessions. We also recommend a reading book if students finish early.
Online NAPLAN tests provide more precise results and are engaging for students. The tests are tailored (or adaptive), which means that each test presents questions that may be more or less difficult depending on a student’s responses. This helps students remain engaged with the assessment.
Tailored testing allows a wider range of student abilities to be assessed and measures student achievement more precisely. A student’s overall NAPLAN result is based on both the number and complexity of questions they answer correctly. Your child should not be concerned if they find questions challenging; they may be taking a more complex test pathway.
NAPLAN provides valuable information to schools and parents about literacy and numeracy achievement. It supports school improvement processes by enabling teachers to monitor student progress over time and to identify areas of strength and development. If you would like to withdraw your daughter from NAPLAN, please contact our Literacy Coordinator, Nicole Commins, on nicole.commins@merici.act.edu.au
All eligible students are encouraged and supported to participate in NAPLAN testing. Visit www.nap.edu.au to see interactive versions of the test and for more information.
