The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a point in time assessment of literacy and numeracy skills. Students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 participate in the annual tests in writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. All NSW schools will sit NAPLAN online in 2022.
Our school will be participating in NAPLAN between 10 and 20 May 2022 (11/5/2022, 12/5/2022, 13/5/2022 & 18/5/2022)
In preparation for NAPLAN, our school will also be participating in practice tests on 24/3/2022. The practice test is a trial run and key preparation activity for NAPLAN in May. It is not an assessment of student ability, and the tests will not be marked.
Excessive preparation for NAPLAN is not recommended. Students can use the public demonstration site (https://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment/public-demonstration-site) to familiarise themselves with the types of questions and tools available in NAPLAN. Students will also do some practice in their English and Mathematics classes leading up to the event.
Each student will receive a letter with details about each test. If you have any questions about NAPLAN, please contact the College.
Photography reflects Time and Place. The task requires you to think creatively and use different viewpoints , to make the ordinary look extraordinary.
The theme is 'Rainy Day Creative Photography'. Read the link below as a basis for ideas for taking photos on rainy days.
Photography students in Years 9-11 will work on this in class.
Your images can be taken anywhere, not just at school.
Once you select your best image, change it to black and white to improve the dramatic impact of the image. You can increase the sharpness, definition and contrast to improve the dramatic and evocative nature of the image.
The works will be judged and prizes awarded.
