All students are encouraged to participate in NAPLAN tests.
Students with disability may qualify for adjustments that reflect the support
normally provided in the classroom. Students who have a temporary injury may
also be reasonably accommodated.
A formal exemption may be granted for a
student with significant intellectual disability and/or significant coexisting
conditions, or for a student who has recently arrived in Australia and has a
non-English speaking background. Please see the office administrators if you
require exemption forms. If your child is going to be away during the
assessment times, please notify the office so that we can adjust our records
accordingly or organise catch-up tests if necessary.
