Understanding the NAPLAN report
NAPLAN isn’t a pass-or-fail exam. It is a diagnostic snapshot of your child’s skills in literacy and numeracy, benchmarked against national standards. These assessments occur in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9 and highlight areas of strength and skills that may require further development.
Your child’s report will show:
- Their performance across key subject areas – like Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar, and Numeracy.
- Proficiency bands that indicate how your child is tracking against peers.
- Growth over time, helping you and your child track progress between testing years.
It is important to remember: NAPLAN tests long-term skill development, not rote memorisation. It is less about “studying for a test” and more about building the core skills your child uses daily across all learning areas.
How to help your child improve NAPLAN results: why consistent support matters
Book trial classes now
Improvement in NAPLAN—or any learning area—comes from consistent, ongoing practice and exposure, not last-minute revision.
Just as children commit time and effort to hobbies, sport, or music, they need the same level of commitment to build confidence and success in Reading, Writing, and Numeracy.
At ARRENDELL Education Charlestown, we support students to develop these essential skills with consistency, and fully qualified teaching guidance.

Talking to your child about their NAPLAN results
NAPLAN is just one tool to help understand how your child is tracking. It should never be a source of stress or comparison.
Instead, use it as an opportunity to:
- Celebrate strengths and progress.
- Discuss areas for growth in a positive, constructive way.
- Model how to ask for help and value ongoing learning, not just for exams.
- Reassure your child that consistent practice—not perfection—is the goal.
