NAPLAN is moving online. This means moving NAPLAN from the current paper-based tests to computer-based assessments. The transition to NAPLAN online will commence from 2018.
In May of every year, students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 take part in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). NAPLAN was first introduced in 2008 and has become a routine part of the school calendar in Australia.
NAPLAN, which is a part of the National Assessment Program (NAP), is how governments, education authorities and schools can determine whether young Australians are reaching important educational goals.
States and territories determine when their schools commence NAPLAN Online.
Moving NAPLAN online brings many new opportunities for students and teachers that are limited or not possible with paper-based tests.
As a school we have currently undergone a technology audit to ensure that we have the necessary resources to support this transition.
