NAPLAN Online 2021

NAPLAN 2021 will be completed through Week 4 of Term 2. 

During Weeks 9 and 10 of Term 1, students in Year 7 and 9 completed NAPLAN online practice tests. Please see the feedback below from our practice tests:

  • The NAP browser used by students to access NAPLAN online has been updated over the holidays. All students must ensure updates in the Student Managed Software Centre have been completed in order to access the latest NAP browser.
  • Students must have earphones/earbuds and a pen/pencil  for each NAPLAN test.
  • It is the responsibility of the student to ensure laptops are charged for each NAPLAN test and that the NAP browser has been tested. 

Please check these items with your child to ensure they are prepared for NAPLAN.

What equipment is needed for NAPLAN tests?

On each NAPLAN test day, students will be required to have a fully-charged, functioning laptop as well as earphones/earbuds for use during the test. Student laptops require the updated NAP Locked Down Browser to be installed. No calculators are required for the Numeracy test as calculators are accessible when needed through the online browser.

What do I do if my child is absent from school on a test day?

If your child is absent from school on a test day,  please contact the College office and leave a message for Miss Stephanie Phillips. Students who are absent will complete a catch-up test with a test administrator upon their return to school. All NAPLAN catch-up tests for Year 7 must be finalised by Friday, 21 May. All NAPLAN catch-up tests for Year 9 must  be completed by Tuesday 18 May (prior to Year 9 Camp). Any student who is unable to attend school during the NAPLAN testing and catch-up windows will not be eligible to complete NAPLAN 2021 testing.

If you have further questions about NAPLAN, please contact Miss Stephanie Phillips.
