NAPLAN
In 2022, as in 2021, we will be conducting NAPLAN Online.

From 11 – 21 May 2022, students will undertake NAPLAN tests during Periods 1 & 2 on Wednesday 11 May, Thursday 12 May, Monday 16 May and Tuesday 17 May.

On these days, students must ensure they bring a set of headphones and a fully charged laptop. All students are expected to participate in the NAPLAN Online tests. Catch up tests will be available for individual students who are absent on test days up to and including Friday 20 May 2022.

Year 9 - 11 Semester One Exams
The Semester One Exam period will run between 27 May and 9 June.

Students from Years 9 - 11 will be involved in a series of exams designed to consolidate and examine the learning that has taken place from the beginning of the year.

Examinations are an integral part of the complete learning experience; however, it is also important to note that at Years 10 and 11 they will form part of the basis for determining entry into certain VCE subjects for 2023. This is also the case for those Year 9 students wishing to apply for acceleration into a VCE subject in Year 10, 2023.

Given the importance of these examinations in terms of academic progression and crucial examination experience prior to Year 12, it is anticipated that your son will complete sustained examination preparation. Advice on this has been provided to students through presentations and workshops, as well as by classroom teachers.

Further details, including the timetables for each Year Level and instructions about the logistics of the exam period will be provided over the coming fortnight.
