This term from Week 5 schools across NSW will be participating in the NAPLAN Online school readiness test. The school readiness test is a ‘practice run' designed to help schools assess their technical and administrative readiness for the transition to NAPLAN Online.
Fairfield High School students in years 7 and 9 will be
participating in the readiness test between Monday 3 September and Friday 7 September 2018. The readiness test will involve students in year 3, 5, 7 and 9 sitting
two, 40-minute assessments, a writing test and a combined
numeracy/literacy test. (Year 3 students will not participate in the writing test).
Student participation in the readiness test is an opportunity for them to become familiar with the NAPLAN Online test format. It is not an assessment of student ability and there will be no reporting of student results. It is important to note that participation in the school readiness test
has no effect on students' NAPLAN results from the tests students sat in May.

department's NAPLAN Online website: https://education.nsw.gov.au/
