NAPLAN is moving from May to March from 2023

Did you know NAPLAN is moving to Term 1?

The new NAPLAN testing window for 2023 is now from 15-27 March.

This means the results will be in the hands of education authorities and school systems earlier in the year to inform teaching and learning programs throughout the rest of the school year.

It will also give teachers more time to better assess what support students need for the rest of the year.

Check out the NAPLAN key dates for this year and beyond.
