NAPLAN 2024
NAPLAN testing has occured for students in both Years 3 & 5.
Education ministers changed the way NAPLAN results are reported to parents and carers, now that all students are taking the tests online, and with the move to an earlier NAPLAN in March.
Proficiency standards with 4 levels of achievement for each year level replaced the previous 10-band structure. The proficiency standards include a baseline benchmark to identify students who are likely to need additional support.
The numerical NAPLAN bands and the national minimum standard were replaced by the following 4 levels of achievement:
-
Exceeding
- Strong
- Developing
- Needs additional support
The descriptors for each category make it clear to parents what their child’s literacy and numeracy skills are at the time of NAPLAN testing, and support discussions with their school on their child’s progress.
