2024 NAPLAN Assessment Results
Yesterday, Year 3 and 5 students were sent home with the 2024 NAPLAN results.
We are very proud of the efforts of all students, and are pleased to report that PPN students have, on average, achieved a Strong level of achievement across all of the domains tested through NAPLAN.
Once again, the school has achieved results that are above both the State and National averages in all tests. While NAPLAN results do not give the full picture of a students abilities, it is really pleasing to see the impact that our teachers and support staff are having on your children’s education.
Information to help you understand your child’s results were sent home with them yesterday. However, the graphic below gives a good summary of what the four proficiency standards indicate.
It’s important to remember that NAPLAN results reflect a specific point in time. They're designed to help identify areas for students, classes and schools to focus on. They provide a great opportunity for parents and carers to also speak with teachers about how students can be supported to be their best.
