 NAPLAN
Our focus is not just to prepare your child to be a one-exam-wonder, but to tower upon those fundamental academic skills that would be beneficial in your child’s long-term learning career.
What is the NAPLAN?
National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a national test held for all students in Australia at Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
The Literacy component assesses a student’s capabilities in:
 Writing
Reading
Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
The numeracy component evaluates a child’s skills in:
Numbers
Space
Measurement chance and data
Algebra, function and pattern
Questions are made up of a mixture of formats including multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions.
When do the exams take place?
Exams are held every year in the month of May
Why is the NAPLAN important?
The importance of the NAPLAN is evident from reasons that include:
Tests provide a gauge as to the general understanding in the areas of literacy and numeracy.
Tests identify student areas of concern or weaknesses and allow parents and teachers to support and reinforce students where necessary.
Reflect on the child’s achievements and allow for the planning of future study requirements (including the planning for selective or gifted children schools).
How does Alpha Omega Education help?
Alpha Omega Education can help prepare Year 3,5, 7 &9 students for the NAPLAN in a number of different and often complementing capacities:
1. Our regular tutoring classes prepare students by revisiting and strengthen core areas of subjects and competencies in line with the government set syllabus. These classes have the added benefit of improving general academic performance and boosting self-esteem or confidence.
2. We also offer specialised ongoing tutoring classes that prepare students by accelerating their learning and consistently exposing them to, and testing them on, literacy and numeracy skills.
3. Alpha Omega also conducts NAPLAN Holiday Workshops which are designed to be a comprehensive one day course that cover exam tips, techniques & questions
