The National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) testing program takes place at Covenant College and virtually every other school in Australia over a three day period. The results of these assessment are issued to parents later in the year and cohort results published on the MyScool website at the end of the year or at the beginning of the following year.
It should be noted that the NAPLAN results provide only one aspect of a child's / school's progress and that there are many others that should be taken into consideration when measuring 'progress' / 'success'.
