NAPLAN News
Year 3 and 5 students in ACT schools will participate in NAPLAN Online testing in May 2021. Our school will be conducting the tests between 17 - 21 May.
All students participating in NAPLAN Online 2021 are expected to have done a practice/familiarisation test prior to the May NAPLAN tests. The practice test does not assess student performance and has been developed to replace one of the familiarisation activities that schools have traditionally undertaken. St Monica's is planning to do our practice test next Friday 26 March.
As a parent, you can become familiar with NAPLAN Online tests by visiting the public demonstration site, http://bit.ly/naplanonline. The purpose of the site is to familiarise students with the type of items they will see on NAPLAN Online and related functionalities. This level of familiarisation is worthwhile to help students understand and be comfortable with the format of the test.
