Haileybury students have excelled in the 2023 NAPLAN tests, with an impressive 96.25% surpassing proficiency benchmarks, reflecting the school's commitment to academic excellence and the collaborative efforts of dedicated teachers, diligent students, and supportive families.
More than 1,600 Haileybury students across Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sat National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests at Haileybury during March.
2023 was the first year that the tests were brought forward to Term 1 with the purpose of proving more timely feedback to schools and families. At the same time the four Proficiency Standards were developed as the main reporting measure in consultation with teachers across the country. These reflect the point in time performance of students against the national curriculum at the appropriate level. The collective results for schools provide valuable data to assess a key element of school performance, literacy and numeracy.
As a part of the streamlined process to get data back to schools as quickly as possible, schools across Australia have received the early data showing proficiency standards for Haileybury students achieved in reading, grammar, spelling and numeracy. Writing, which is marked by human assessors, not AI, takes longer to return and will be released to families with all the data.
The four proficiency standards are Exceeding, Strong, Developing and Needs Additional Support.
Haileybury student results in recent years have seen the school ranked in the very top few open entry schools in the country at all year levels tested. As we receive the data each year, we use it to analyse teaching practice and ensure that the best evidence-based practice is used by Haileybury’s wonderful teachers. Teachers look at the data across the school, identify where best practice has occurred and share with each other. It is this process that leads to continued improvement in Haileybury’s performance which is a direct reflection of the incredibly high standards of literacy and numeracy of Haileybury students.
I am very pleased to report that since Haileybury students outstanding performance in 2023, the early release of 2025 proficiency standards shows that Haileybury students across all year levels tested (Years 3, 5, 7 and 9) and the four domains for which data has been received (reading, grammar, spelling and numeracy) have shown continued improvement off an incredibly high base.
An exceptional 96.25% of all students in all domains and year levels were above the proficiency standard set for the relevant year level and domain with Exceeding (62.25%) and Strong (34%).
These are truly outstanding results and reflect the exceptional focus of Haileybury as a school, the brilliant work of the teachers, the strong work of the students and the support from families.
I look forward to the release of the full set of results later in the year and to families receiving their individual NAPLAN reports.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Haileybury acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
