Year 6 Science Literacy "NAPLAN" Test

All year 6 students will participate in the NAPLAN Science Literacy Test this morning.  This is a new assessment, which we have opted to complete as a school. We will provide further information closer to the test date. 

These new assessments are part of the National Assessment Program and completely optional for schools. These new assessments will be phased in over 3 years, starting with science literacy in 2024. Civics and citizenship will be added in 2025, followed by ICT (information and communication technology) literacy in 2026. From 2026, NAP Opt-in assessments in all 3 domains will be available each year.

Through taking part in this assessment in science literacy we will be able to:

1. Measure student performance against national standards in science literacy.
2. Use the results to review, plan and adapt our science teaching and learning programs.
