Our NAPLAN data arrived early this week and while teachers haven't had a lot of time to look over the result we are very pleased with the results and feeling very proud our students for their work and commitment to their learning.
We are particularly pleased with the growth shown in Numeracy. 48% of our year 5s achieved Upper level growth and 56% of our year 7s also achieving upper level growth. These results are both significantly higher than average results.
Our continued growth in reading and numeracy correlates strongly with the increased collaborative work of teachers in PLCs, our rigorous analysis of data and our strong focus on student improvement through a clearly articulated improvement cycle, regular student reviews and goal setting.
Teachers will be closely looking at the results at our PFD (Monday 14th October). We will analyse this data and use it to reflect on our Site Improvement Plan and plan forward to 2020.
The families of Year 3, 5 & 7 students will receive their NAPLAN results at the end of week 10. You will receive an individual student summary and an individual student report.
It is important to remember these results are a snapshot of your child's learning taken earlier in the year. Any families wanting to discuss NAPLAN results can make an appointment with class teachers in Term 4. Teachers can provide an accurate representation of your child's education based on a range of data and knowledge of your child's learning journey.
