Outstanding NAPLAN Results

Highest results in St Aidan’s NAPLAN history

St Aidan’s performance on the 2016 National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) testing is the highest result since the NAPLAN test started in 2008. St Aidan’s performed exceptionally, with all year levels (Years 3, 5, 7 and 9) results in the top 5 for the state.

Our state rankings are as follows:

• Our Year 3 cohort recorded the state’s highest result
• Our Year 5 cohort recorded the state’s 5th highest result – adjusted to 4th highest with the school’s with cohorts less than 20 removed
• Our Year 7 cohort recorded the state’s 3rd highest result
• Our Year 9 cohort recorded the state’s 3rd highest result

St Aidan’s is well above the National average for each year level, across all five areas of the NAPLAN test (reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and numeracy). This follows on from our consistently strong results since NAPLAN’s inception.

St Aidan’s is proud of our girls’ results and feel they reflect earnest young people committed to achieving their potential. Principal, Karen Spiller reiterated this, saying “the strong performance of St Aidan’s students highlights the dedication of both teachers and students towards their work. We take our students’ academic performance and their learning progress very seriously, using all data available to ensure St Aidan’s offers a proactive and, where required, interventionist learning program for our students.”
