The National Assessment Program-Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) was first undertaken as an online test in Tasmania during 2019. Tasmanian schools will again participate in NAPLAN Online this year.

NAPLAN Online provides better assessment and more precise results.

The assessments feature a tailored test design where the questions a student receives will depend on their answers to previous questions.

NAPLAN testing will be held from the 11 to 21 May 2021.

Online testing will be available for each of the NAPLAN year levels (3, 5, 7 and 9).

NAPLAN assessments include four components, Writing, Numeracy, Conventions of Language and Reading. Please note that all Year Three students will be completing a paper-based Writing Test.

Schools will receive reports and results for participants following the completion of the NAPLAN Online assessment window. These Individual Student Reports will have the same format as in previous years. This format is used for every student in Australia.

A parent/carer brochure containing more information about the NAPLAN Online assessments, will be distributed by the school to families of students sitting NAPLAN this year.

If you have further questions, please contact Anthony Hall at the school on 6464 0600.
