Assessment

We are responsible for the development of the National Assessment Program (NAP) which includes:

• the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)
• the 3-yearly NAP sample assessments in science literacy, civics and citizenship, and ICT literacy
• the NAP Opt-in assessments in the NAP sample assessment domains.

These assessments test students’ knowledge of what is in the Australian Curriculum and tell us whether our students are developing the essential skills – predominantly literacy and numeracy – they will need in life.

Find more information about the NAP program on the NAP website, including: 

• NAPLAN
• NAPLAN public demonstration site
• NAP sample
• NAP Opt-in.
