National Testing – NAPLAN Yr 3 & 5 - Literacy & Numeracy Tests
Data from these tests is used by the School to track student performance and to identify students requiring support or extension. MCEEDYA provides parents with the opportunity to withdraw their sons and daughters from the NAPLAN tests. The School does not encourage this option but is obliged to inform parents of their rights.
If you would like more information about this please contact the School.
