All NAPLAN tests will be completed on iPads, except for the Year 3 writing assessment, which will be done on paper. To help your child be prepared for each NAPLAN day, please ensure they:

✅ Have a working pair of headphones (preferably not Bluetooth).
✅ Have a good breakfast and arrive at school on time.

More information about NAPLAN and how you can support your child for NAPLAN is available on the attached information brochure.
