2016 NAPLAN student reports will be delivered to NSW schools from Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 August.

All students will receive two reports, the mandatory national Student Report and the Additional Student Report which is provided by BOSTES. They will be in a sealed envelope which should be sent to parents after the results have been checked.

The report package will include a hard copy of each Additional Student Report for the school records, which can be used to check student results.

Schools can also access an electronic copy of the student reports for 2016, as well as all previous years, through SMART This can be used when parents  require an additional copy or have misplaced a NAPLAN report.

The Student report – information for parents brochure can be downloaded from the ACARA NAPLAN website, which also contains information about reporting of NAPLAN results on the BOSTES website.

BOSTES has prepared a presentation ‘NAPLAN 2016 Understanding the Student Reports’ to assist schools in communicating information to parents about student reporting. This presentation can be downloaded from the PAR website > Documents and Forms.
