NAPLAN Online
Students at Cooktown P-12 State School in Year 3, Year 5, Year 7 and Year 9 will be participating this year in the annual National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). This year, NAPLAN will be run online. Online means that students will take the test online using computers at Cooktown P-12 State School. The NAPLAN Online tests this year will run over the fortnight beginning Tuesday May 12, and will finish on Friday May 22.

Withdrawal from NAPLAN Online
If any parents wish to withdraw their child from the NAPLAN Online tests for philosophical or religious reasons, they are to contact me as soon as possible and complete a Record of parent withdrawal form (available only at school, and to be completed with a Deputy Principal – either myself or Alison Martin – Deputy Principal, Primary).
If you have any questions regarding NAPLAN Online, please do not hesitate to contact me on 4082 0222, or at david.lang@eq.edu.au. I am the school’s NAPCO (NAPLAN Co-ordinator), and hence am responsible for the delivery of the NAPLAN Online tests for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 for 2020 at Cooktown P-12 State School.
