Timboon P-12 School

NAPLAN 2013 Results Our 2013 results have placed the school in the top performers for our Region and show significant relative growth in numeracy results across years 5, 7 and 9. Good gains were also evident in literacy with an increased number of year 5 students in the high relative growth group and less year 9 students making low relative growth. In short this means our students are making better progress than the state average when tracked between NAPLAN tests. NAPLAN Testing NAPLAN is a valuable assessment tool for governments, schools and parents to understand and improve the literacy and numeracy outcomes of Australian students. NAPLAN provides parents of students in Years 3/5/7/9 with a report on their child’s performance in literacy and numeracy against the national average. Schools and teachers usE NAPLAN data to improve teaching and learning programs in the classroom. Specific information regarding the program, including details about the tests, participation, special provisions and a wide range of other issues can be found on the website. The VCAA will forward student reports directly to schools when they are available later in the year. Parents with queries regarding the distribution of the NAPLAN reports should contact their child's school in the first instance. 2014 NAPLAN tests: 13-15 May Future test dates.
