Introductory Comments
The NAPLAN testing data for Prince of Peace Lutheran College was extracted from the
Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (ACAA) report called “NAPLAN 2014
Outcomes – All Queensland Schools” which was published on the QCAA website on 18 August
2014.
The data for the achievement of Queensland and Australian schools was obtained by accessing
the interactive “NAPLAN 2014 Summary Report” published on 18 August 2014 on the ACARA
(Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority) website.
Overview of the Process
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment
for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 and has been part of the school calendar since 2008.
NAPLAN tests the sorts of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and
life, such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy. The assessments are undertaken
nationwide, every year, in the second full week in May.
NAPLAN is made up of tests in the four areas (or ‘domains’) of:
Reading
Writing
Language conventions
o Spelling
o Grammar and punctuation (G&P)
Numeracy
You can find an easy to understand infographic that gives useful information on the NAPLAN
tests and their benefits here
Reading
Writing
Spelling
Grammar and Punctuation (G&P)
Numeracy
The NAPLAN Summary Report concentrated on two areas of achievement;
The percentage of students in each of the achievement bands which determined the
percentage of students above the National Minimum Standard (NMS – ie the National
Benchmarks)
The Mean Scale Scores
This particular analysis deals with both sets of Scores even though I believe the Mean Scale
Scores are more meaningful.
The number of students involved in NAPLAN testing during 2014 was as follows;
Year 3 68 Year 7 42
Year 5 72 Year 9 71
Total 253 students Exempt students 10
Results
The results are presented in the following document in five different sections. Each section is
based in either the number of students scoring at or above the National Minimum Standard or
the Mean Scaled Scores. The results are shown in different formats to allow comparison
between data groups.
