Junior school

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​NAPLAN 2024​​​​​​​​​​

Please see the NVSHS NAPLAN Testing Schedule for 2024. All students are encouraged to complete the online NAPLAN testing to the best of their ability. Please remember that NAPLAN is not high-stakes testing, but an opportunity to monitor a child's growth in literacy and numeracy across their schooling and identify needs for support and extension. Students will be supported to download the NAPLAN Lockdown browser to enable online testing and complete a practice test in the coming weeks. Parents and carers can support with this process at the following link (https://www.assessform.edu.au/naplan-online/lo​cked-down-browser). Additional information on the NAPLAN program can be found in the infographics to the right of this page

.

If you wish for your child to be withdrawn from NAPLAN testing for philosophical or religious reasons, please find the  NAPLAN withdrawal form at the right of this page.  This is to be returned to the administration office by Friday 01 March.

​Please contact the school should you have any questions regarding NAPLAN.
