Collection of Personal Information
Schools are required by law to collect personal information about you and your child, irrespective of whether your child participates in NAPLAN testing.
Please refer to the attached Government of South Australia, Department of Education that specifies further details around data collection and privacy and how personal information about you and your child will be used for NAPLAN testing (both online and paper tests) in 2026 and, as part of NAPLAN, readiness activities – scheduled at various times leading up to the test.
NAPLAN Testing Since 2022 NAPLAN tests are completed nationally online, except for Year 3 writing which remains paper-based and a small number of students who will continue to use alternative format (paper or electronic pdf tests). Online testing brings many benefits and opportunities including providing better assessment, more precise results and faster turnaround of information.
