All Australian students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 undertook Literacy and Numeracy testing earlier in the year under the National Assessment Program (NAPLAN).  The results have recently been provided to schools.  It is important to remember that these scores are supposed to measure one aspect of a child's progress. 

A State by State summary of results can be found at the following link, together with comprehensive information on this Program - www.naplan.edu.au
