NAPLAN PAR information for independent schools
2016 NAPLAN information for independent schools was emailed to schools in November 2015.
All principals are required to read and accept the terms of the NAPLAN Code of Conduct which will be included on the Statement of Compliance page in the Participation and Registration (PAR) website.
All students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are registered to sit the NAPLAN tests via the PAR website. Details for all eligible students should be entered on to the student details spreadsheet. It is essential that the spreadsheet is completed correctly, as per the information provided, and uploaded to PAR.
The PAR website can be accessed by independent schools from Wednesday 10 February (https://www.naplanpar.nsw.edu.au) and the deadline for uploading and confirming all student details is Wednesday 24 February.
Please note that in 2016, principals will be issued with a new password to access PAR. The PAR user name will not change. The new login details will be emailed to principals this week.
Independent schools should contact the NAPLAN team on (02) 9367 8382 for further information.
