National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)

In 2010 the dates for the National Assessment Program will be Tuesday May 11 - Thursday May 13. 

In 2011 the dates for the National Assessment Program will be Tuesday May 10 - Thursday May 12.

In 2012 the dates for the National Assessment Program will be Tuesday May 15 - Thursday May 17.

The Writing task for NAPLAN 2010 for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 will be a narrative.

Non-narrative tasks will be trialled and evaluated in 2009 and 2010 for possible use in NAPLAN 2011. Trialling a range of writing tasks will ensure that NAPLAN continues to reflect the scope of knowledge and skills within Australian curricula and national statements of learning. This approach will allow adequate time for any change in writing genre to be communicated to schools, teachers and parents.
