TUMUT primary and secondary school aged students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 this week started their annual NAPLAN assessments.
The assessments began on Wednesday with almost 1.3 million students expected to take the tests in more than 9,400 schools and campuses across Australia.
NAPLAN is the only national assessment that helps teachers, parents and carers see how students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are progressing in literacy and numeracy over time.
This year, students in Years 5, 7 and 9 will complete a second NAPLAN cycle since the annual test changed from being held in March instead of May and the introduction of the new proficiency levels.
While proficiency levels become more demanding as students move through the NAPLAN years, this new data will give the opportunity to see how this cohort of students have progressed between 2023 and 2025.
Preliminary results will be provided to schools in all domains except writing, which takes longer to mark.
Schools will receive their full results, including writing, from June 2025, after which parents and carers receive their child’s Individual Student Report at the start of Term 3.
ACARA is expecting to publish the National Results in late July/early August 2025.
