NAPLAN Results University Early offers Immersion to the Philippines (video) Student Spotlight and From the Classroom (video)
While it is important to remember that NAPLAN test results are only a snapshot of your child's performance on a test (from back in March), they are most useful for us as a College to inform how we can improve what we do on a whole College level, and at a classroom level to support better learning outcomes for all students. With the NAPLAN 2023 results, we have a lot to celebrate! When compared to the State and National averages, we have experienced growth for all years and across all domains (Reading, Writing, Numeracy, Spelling, and Grammar and Punctuation), and we have now surpassed these averages for many of the tests. We also have results that are now comparable to some of the best performing schools in our system - especially Writing, where our Year 7 results were one of the highest in the whole diocese! This success in Writing flows all the way to Year 3 where around 90% of students were in the 'Strong' or 'Exceeding' proficiency levels. Writing is a foundational skill for the rest of a child's school life and beyond, and it is exciting to see such impressive results. As for the other domains, the majority of students from Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 were in the 'Strong' proficiency level, with over 70% being at this level and above for all tests. We look forward to continuing the upward trend in our NAPLAN results as we strive for academic excellence. SANTA SOPHIA E-NEWSLETTER
