The <strong>College</strong> each year forwards the individual results of NAPLAN tests<br />
to parents and guardians.<br />
The results over the past three years are very pleasing and reflect the<br />
work that all our teachers and educational support staff undertake in<br />
developing the numeracy and literacy of our students. The Student<br />
Services Department continues to implement programs and strategies<br />
which both support and extend our students’ learning in literacy and<br />
numeracy.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> is also an active member of the CEOM LINC and AGQTP<br />
Programs working closely with other primary and secondary schools in<br />
our region. Our teachers and educational support staff have also been<br />
engaged in various numeracy and literacy professional learning<br />
activities which promote active learning strategies.<br />

Performance Using VELS<br />
A three year scaled score mean comparison (2008 ~ 2010) of Year 7<br />
student performance using the National Assessment Program Scale<br />
indicates that the performance of <strong>Loyola</strong> <strong>College</strong> students has generally<br />
