Most tests will happen early each morning, so please arrange for your child to be prepared by arriving at school for the morning assembly, with a routine start to the day.
Your child will need their device charged and their headphones at school for each testing day. If your child is ill on a day, we will endeavour to run a catch-up session. Please discuss this with your child’s teacher.
Please help your child prepare by reassuring them that NAPLAN is just one part of their school program, and by reminding them on the day to simply try their best. Teachers have worked with students over the past weeks to ensure they are familiar with the types of questions in the tests and will provide appropriate adjustments, support and guidance. Families are welcome to visit the public demonstration site at nap.edu.au to familiarise themselves with this online testing.
If you have any questions about NAPLAN, the online tests or your child’s participation please contact your child’s teacher or myself as the NAPLAN Coordinator.
Yours faithfully,
