In 2008, the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) commenced in Australian schools. The program continues in 2024 with all children in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 or ages appropriate to these years (see Table 1) being assessed using common national tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy. NAPLAN 2024 assessments will be online with the exception or year 3 writing which is paper based.

These literacy and numeracy tests form a key part of the National Assessment Program endorsed by all Australian Ministers for Education.

Parent reports on student progress (issued in Mid-June and distributed to parents through the Office of the Education Registrar) will give valuable information on your child’s/children’s performance in the areas tested.
