Assessment
Teachers monitor student progress in a variety of ways throughout the year to assess their work.
Best Start
The Best Start Assessment is a tool to help teachers assess your child’s skills as they enter school, and to tailor teaching to their individual needs. Teachers will sit with your child when they start school to assess your child’s literacy and numeracy skills so that they can develop an appropriate teaching program that caters for your child.
National Tests
All students in Years 3 and 5 sit for four tests in May that are known as the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). NAPLAN assesses students’ skills in numeracy, reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
NAPLAN results help teachers meet the individual literacy and numeracy needs of students. You will receive a detailed written report of your child’s achievement in the tests.
