Year 9s, it's NAP time!
Happy Chinese New Year! After that, it will be Easter Time in April! And soon, it will be May, which means time for NAP~! Especially for those who are in Year 9 this year, are you ready?
Whilst it is not something new to you, it is definitely important to you as there will be consequences if you failed to reach a band 8. The state government made this official in 2016 that students would be required to achieve a band eight standard in the year 9 NAPLAN reading, writing and maths to guarantee eligibility for the HSC. Although students who failed to reach the minimum standard, there will be multiple opportunities in the year 10, 11, 12 or even within the first 5 years when complete the HSC to meet the literacy and numeracy standards, it is still best to get this sorted now then have to worry about it later, right?
So let's get it prepared and NAP well!
