NAPLAN Years 3 & 5 - Week 7 & 8

Students in Years 3 and 5 will sit NAPLAN tests in 2025 from Wednesday 12 March to Monday 24 March. All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are expected to sit the NAPLAN tests, which are now held in Term 1 each year. NAPLAN gives a snapshot of how children are performing in reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar, and numeracy. It complements other effective classroom assessment and reporting practices.

See the types of questions and tools available in the online NAPLAN assessments at the public demonstration site. https://nap.edu.au/naplan/public-demonstration-site 

The NAPLAN timetable is below. Parents can help by ensuring their children have a fully charged iPad, are sleeping well and eating a healthy breakfast. Reassure and encourage your children to do their best.

The 2025 NAPLAN testing period (12-24 March) is rapidly approaching. To enable our students to have the best possible opportunity to participate fully in the testing, we will be engaging in some readiness activities next week to ensure students have experience in navigating the online platform and checking that their iPad is accessing the app correctly.

We ask that all families check the following on their child’s iPad as soon as possible.

Ensure the NAP 2025 app is installed.

Ensure the iPad operating system is updated to the current iOS 18.3.1

Parent/Teacher Interviews Semester 1

Parent Teacher interviews will be held for years Prep - Year 2 in Term 1 Week 10 (Tuesday 1 April – Wednesday 2 April).

Parent Teacher interviews will be held for Years 3 - 6 in Term 2 Week 2 (Tuesday 29 April – Wednesday 30 April).

The availability of teachers across these dates is different for each teacher so please log in from 12.00pm Monday 10 March to see availability for your teacher and make a booking. Interviews will be of 10 minutes duration.

Bilingual interviews

  • We ask that parents of the bilingual program only make 1x booking with their class teacher pair. You will still be able to meet both teachers for your booking for 5 min each for a total of 10 minutes. Do not make 2 bookings – thank you!

Parent login

  • All parents will need to login with the email they receive newsletters to in order to create a parent teacher booking.

Parent login method

  • Due to security and privacy requirements of Education Queensland, we are not permitted to load parent and student names into Schoolzine without first obtaining individual consent from parents. Therefore, no student data is contained within the system.

All parents will need to login with the email they receive newsletters to in order to create a Parent Teacher booking.

Please follow these steps to log in to Schoolzine and make your interview bookings:

  • Got to the Robertson State School Schoolzine website
  • https://robertsonss.schoolzineplus.com/view-session/38
  • At the login screen, login with the same email that you receive the Robertson State School newsletter.
  • Proceed to make bookings as instructed on the screen.

Points to be aware of:

  • You will not be able to access the system until it goes live. See the timeline below for details.
  • You will only see time slots that are available at the time you are using the system. As time slots are booked for teachers, those time slots are no longer displayed as available. Schoolzine prevents double-booking of teachers.
  • Other parents may be making bookings at the same time that you are using the system. It is possible, though unlikely, that a time slot is displayed to you as available, but is then booked by another parent shortly afterwards. If you then attempt to book this time slot it will not be available and a message will be displayed to indicate this.

  • You are welcome to wear a face mask if to you wish to the interview.

Venue

  • The interviews after school will be held in your child’s classroom.
