UPCOMING NAPLAN TESTING
Dear Parents & Caregivers
The following outlines important information regarding the NAPLAN (National Assessment program Literacy and Numeracy) testing that all Year 9 students will soon be completing. These tests will be held throughout the nation on 15, 16 and 17 May 2012. School results will guide our future teaching practices. Individual student results will be used to support, develop and extend student learning in Years 10, 11 and 12.

You can assist your child to perform their very best by ensuring they have a good night's sleep and eat breakfast prior to testing, and that they bring the necessary equipment comprising:
- 2 x 2B or HB pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- Eraser
- 2 x blue or black ballpoint pens
- Calculator
I look foward to sharing the results of your Year 9 NAPLAN testing when we receive them later in the year.
