A snapshot of our learning progress 2026

Each year, year 3 and 5 students sit a range of assessments as part of the National Assessment Program of Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN).

The NAPLAN tests are only one aspect of Auburn Primary School’s assessment process, and do not replace the extensive, ongoing assessments made by teachers about each student’s performance – demonstrated by what they can do, say make and write in their daily learning tasks that form a comprehensive picture of their educational progress.

The results of NAPLAN provide the school with a snapshot of academic performance at any given time, as well as allowing the school to look at trends in data over time.

We are exceptionally proud of our student’s learning growth, and credit the ongoing work of our dedicated teaching and support staff, as well as the strong partnerships with parents and carers.

We are proud of the students who sat NAPLAN in 2026, with results demonstrating that:

• Over 90% of our year 3 students achieved ‘exceeding or strong’ results in Reading, Numeracy and Writing
• Over 84% of our year 5 students achieved ‘exceeding or strong’ results in Reading, Numeracy and Writing
• The number of year 5 students making high growth (more than expected progress) in has increased in Reading, Numeracy and Writing this year from previous years

These achievements reflect the efforts of our students, commitment to ongoing learning and excellence by our staff, and a focus on high quality teaching and learning.
