The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. National NAPLAN results for 2026 show big gaps in basic literacy and numeracy. More students are now in the “exceeding” and “strong” bands for reading, writing and numeracy, and the school is outperforming similar schools. “We are incredibly proud to announce that our students have achieved the best NAPLAN results in our school’s history. Waves of teaching reforms are underway across Australia, and schools already using clear methods say they are seeing calmer classrooms, greater engagement and better results.
