From the Assistant Principal's Desk
NAPLAN results have been released this week. Parents of Years 3 and 5 students will receive their child’s report by the end of the week.
NAPLAN provides a national evidence base consistent across states and territories, contributing to the monitoring and evaluation of student progress and outcomes. The data from the assessments helps to inform teaching and learning programs. This information complements teacher judgement and the wide range of formal and informal assessments that are used in each school. Catholic education supports the importance of the National Assessment Program and its continual refinement.
