Principal Report
NAPLAN
The reporting of NAPLAN results to parents and carers is changing. You will shortly receive individual student reports, showing your child’s achievement in each test domain, according to 4 levels of NAPLAN proficiency: Exceeding, Strong Developing and Needs additional support. The report will also provide information about student knowledge and skills within each proficiency. A factsheet included with your child’s report will detail the new changes. Find out more at Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).
