The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) continues in 2010.

All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 being assessed using national tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation) and Numeracy.

The data from the NAPLAN test results gives schools and systems the ability to compare their students’ achievements against national standards and with student achievement in other states and territories.

It also allows the monitoring of progress over time.

Curriculum Corporation is project managing the NAPLAN 2010 test program on behalf of the Australian Education Systems Officials Committee.

Students from Haberfield PS in Years 3 & 5 will sit for the NAPLAN 2010 tests from Tuesday 11 May to Thursday 13 May 2010.

All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 in schools across Australia undertake the same tests on the same days. Students have their skills assessed in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar), and Numeracy.

National test results provide information on how students are progressing and support improvements in teaching and learning. 

Parents and carers can best assist students by making them feel comfortable about the nature and purpose of the tests.

Their children can be assured that the assessments will give them an opportunity to show what they have learned in class.
