Holiday Hubs: NAPLAN Review, STEM and Messy Art Play

During school holidays throughout the year, depending on demand and schedule, we may offer intensive and special classes for students (from Foundation to Year 9) who want to have extra study sessions, depending on their learning goals and plans.

NAPLAN Preparation Program

- The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy refers to an annual national numeracy and literacy assessment of young Australians in years 3, 5, 7, and 9. Governments, education authorities, and schools can use the results to gauge students’ academic readiness for higher learning.

- NAPLAN is unlike any other high-stakes test that children have to prepare for at the end of the term as it assesses the skills that are developed over time through the school curriculum, not just through the preparation of the exam.

- Enrolling your child in a NAPLAN prep program can help them hone the skills that are assessed in the exam, the very skills that they need to go further in school and in life.

- Our NAPLAN Programs are offered during school holidays, or even a year before the students sit on the exam.

Additionally, it helps your child to understand the testing and examination procedure so that they can perform at their best during the examination.
