❓ FAQs — Results & Next Steps

Common questions from parents

When will we receive the results?

Individual student reports are typically sent to families in June or July. Schools receive results first and then distribute them to parents.

My child did not reach the expected level. What should I do?

Talk to your child’s teacher first. NAPLAN is one data point and teachers will have a fuller picture. Together you can identify areas for support.

Can we appeal or retest?

There is no formal appeals process. If you believe exceptional circumstances affected performance, discuss with the school principal.

Does NAPLAN affect my child’s school placement?

For Year 3, NAPLAN does not affect placement. It is used as a diagnostic tool to inform teaching and support decisions. For Years 7 and 9, some schools may reference NAPLAN data in placement or subject selection processes.

How do I access national NAPLAN data?

National and school-level results are published on the My School website (myschool.edu.au) each year.
