Knox Annual Report 2009 - Knox Grammar School

KNOX PERFORMANCE IN STATEWIDE TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS (cont’d)
Historic Data from 2004 – 2007 (Pre- NAPLAN)
In 2008 the Federal Government introduced a national testing scheme (NAPLAN see page above)
for all students in Year 3, 5, 7, and 9 in all school systems (State, Catholic and Independent) across
Australia. This national testing replaced all previous state and national tests but because of the
different ages of students in these year groups in each state the reporting of the student’s
performance on these tests was still compared to the cohort of the student’s home state.
The data below relates to the ELLA and SNAP and LANNA tests held prior to 2008.
