NAPLAN
Dear Parents & Cares
This year our National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) commences on Wednesday 15th March for our Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students. As mentioned in the attachment, NAPLAN assesses the literacy and numeracy skills that students are learning at school - it is important to note that this is only one aspect of Sacred Heart's assessment and reporting schedule.
NAPLAN not only provides an opportunity to assess individual student learning but also a great opportunity for staff to identify trends from a broader school and system perspective. It may be important to reassure your children that they will be supported through this process and that they simply 'do their best' on each assessment.
Please find attached the 'NAPLAN Information for Parents and Carers' sheet which helps to further inform parents about this assessment and how to support your child/ren during this time.
