COLLEGE NEWS
NAPLAN
Dear Parents of Year 7 and 9 Students,
In the next two weeks, students will receive their NAPLAN results in an envelope to bring home. For boarding families, a copy will be posted.
The national test results represent a snapshot of a student’s achievement at a particular point in time. They are but one form of assessment used to measure students’ development and should be considered in relation to other aspects of school assessment. We are very pleased with the academic progress of our students.
Further information about NAPLAN is available on the following website: www.naplan.edu.au If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
