Hi families of 5KF,

Please send students in Year 5 to school with their personal headphones next Tuesday the 27^th of February for their practice NAPLAN test.

Unfortunately, these headphones must be wired, not Bluetooth connected, as they can interfere with the network. If you do not have headphones, do not purchase them, the school can provide them for students, however, there is only a limited supply.

The headphones can be left at school to prepare them for the real NAPLAN test on March 13^th.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Karen.Frear@holyfamily.catholic.edu.au

Below are the NAPLAN test dates:

• Writing – 13^th March 2024
• Reading – 14^th March 2024
• Conventions of Language – 18^th March 2024
• Numeracy – 19^th March 2024
