The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

NAPLAN results allow parents/carers and educators to see how students are progressing in literacy and numeracy over time – individually, as part of their school community, and against national standards. 

NAPLAN tests are one aspect of each school's assessment and reporting process and do not replace the extensive, ongoing assessments made by teachers about each student's performance. Each teacher will have the best insight into their students' educational progress. Parents/carers can use NAPLAN reports, along with other school assessment reports, to discuss their child's strengths and areas for improvement with their teacher.

NAPLAN is made up of tests in the 4 areas (or 'domains') of:​

• reading
• writing
  
• conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
  
• numeracy.
  

In 2023, the NAPLAN testing window was moved to March. Reports are sent home to parents once received from ACARA. For more information, please visit NAP - NAPLAN.
