All students should have completed the NAPLAN tests, including 'catch-up' tests, between Tuesday 12 and Friday 15 May. Schools are not permitted to administer tests in the second week of the security period (Monday 18 - Friday 22 May) without prior approval from BOSTES.

Please pack and lodge all test books, except unused blank books, at a post office by Wednesday 20 May.

Participation and registration (PAR)

Principals and NAPLAN coordinators need to compete the following sections in the PAR website:

• student test participation
• confirmation
• returning test materials.

The PAR Manual, which can be downloaded from the website, has information about completing the post-test information in PAR on participation, disability adjustments and returning materials. Schools can also contact BOSTES or the NAPLAN Helpline (1800 992 735).
