Information for Parents and Caregivers NAPLAN 2022

NAPLAN is the name of literacy and numeracy tests completed by students in Australia.

All students do NAPLAN tests when they are in Year 3, 5, 7 and 9. Students are tested in the areas of Mathematics and English. In English they are assessed on their reading, writing and grammar and punctuation skills.

This year all students will complete all or parts of the assessment online.  The online components branch students into easier or more challenging questions depending on the level of success demonstrated by the individual student. Some of the questions are written and some of the questions are spoken.

After getting the results back in Term 3, schools will give parents and carers a report showing how their child performed. Parents and carers can talk to the teacher about these results. Teachers at Pacific use these results to review individual and cohort performance and plan for improvement in learning in these areas.

The information from the NAPLAN tests is used by people working in the Australian Government, your state or territory education authority and the school, to find out how students are progressing all over Australia.
