The NAPLAN test materials will be delivered to all schools from 26 April. Principals or NAPLAN coordinators should ensure that staff members, who are approved to receive the test materials, have been briefed on the NAPLAN security requirements.

The principal is responsible for the overall security, receipt and confidentiality of all test materials from the time the materials are delivered to the school through to the end of the test security period. The principal is to ensure the contents and quantities of deliveries are correct as soon as possible after the receipt of the material (Handbook for Principals, p 5).

The package of test materials will include:

• personalised test books
• non-personalised test books
• reading test stimulus magazines
• writing stimulus sheets
• a set of black and white masters
• copies of the Test Administration Handbook
• a checklist for return of test materials
  
• a fax back sheet for additional materials
• address labels for return of test materials
• pencils.
  

If this package was damaged or open when delivered, or if there are any incidents regarding the security of test materials, please contact the NAPLAN team at the Board of Studies.

The Test Administration Handbooks for Teachers should be removed from the package and distributed to the relevant test administrators as soon as convenient. All other test materials must be securely stored until test week.

In the event of an incorrect or incomplete delivery, please complete the fax back sheet and fax to the NAPLAN helpline on 1800 886 568.
