2023 NAPLAN Assessment Results

Tomorrow, we are sending home the 2023 NAPLAN results with students in Years 3 and 5. The reports contain information about your child’s performance compared with national standards, including information about the average of other students from around Australia.

The purpose of the NAPLAN testing is to give an insight into the students current level of achievement in the areas of Numeracy and Literacy. It simply provides a snapshot of their academic progress so far on areas covered within the Australian Curriculum.

The way NAPLAN Individual student reports are reports has structured from previous years. Below is a quick guide to reading and understanding your students results.

If your child was new to the school after NAPLAN has been completed, your child's previous school will pass on the results to you directly, if you left a forwarding address. Also, where families have a shared custody arrangement, the additional copy of results will be sent via Australia Post.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact the school or visit https://nap.edu.au/naplan/results-and-reports

Our Communication Commitments

As a way of supporting the positive relationships we have between staff, students and families here at PPN we have recently completed a number of exercises focusing on the way we communicate. A big thanks to the many parents who completed the Class Act program. We have had really positive feedback about the lessons and process.

To continue this culture of positive communication we have developed the commitment and guides below, including a poster for our students.

As parents, we encourage to continue communicating well, as we work together to grow our children into the amazing people they’ve been created to be.
