��ɫ����

��ɫ���� (��ɫ����) is proud to share the strong performance of students in the 2025 NAPLAN assessments, reflecting the ongoing commitment of our schools to excellence, equity, and high expectations for all learners.

Director of Schools, Danny Casey said, “These results are the outcome of deliberate and sustained efforts under ��ɫ����s Towards 2025 Strategy to strengthen teaching and learning. 

Central to this success is a focus on targeted and explicit teaching, aligned closely with the standards of the NSW curriculum. This ensures all students are taught the essential knowledge and skills that matter most.”

��ɫ���� has developed a strong culture of professional learning which supports teachers to deepen their understanding of curriculum content while building a rich knowledge of their learners. Teachers are equipped not only to deliver content effectively but also to differentiate instruction in response to students’ individual needs. Mr Casey also said, “Across ��ɫ����, schools have implemented consistent practices to monitor and track student progress against expected standards. This approach enables timely and informed instructional decisions, ensuring that no student is left behind.”

The strategic use of assessment data has further supported teaching and learning, allowing educators to identify learning strengths and address areas requiring additional support. Teachers and leaders are responding with precision, ensuring interventions are targeted and effective - particularly for students who need it most.

Year 3 and Year 5 NAPLAN Performance

��ɫ���� schools continue to achieve higher average scaled scores than the State and National averages in Year 3 and Year 5 in Reading, Writing, and Numeracy. In Year 3, ��ɫ���� students scored up to 40 points above the National average, ranked among the top two NSW Catholic systems in all domains and outperformed Independent schools in Year 3 Reading, Writing, and Numeracy. A higher proportion of ��ɫ���� students achieve in the Exceeding proficiency level across most domains, with a smaller percentage in Needs Additional Support than the National trends.

In Years 7 and 9, ��ɫ���� students again had higher average scaled scores than the National averages in Reading, Writing and Numeracy. ��ɫ���� ranked in the top three Catholic systems across these domains and consistently maintained a smaller percentage of students in the Needs Additional Support level when compared to National figures. 

These results also reflect the strength of collaborative leadership across ��ɫ���� schools and the system-wide commitment to providing every student with access to high-quality learning opportunities. 

Mr Casey said, “The 2025 NAPLAN results affirm our belief in the power of teacher professionalism, evidence-informed practice, and the importance of knowing every learner. ��ɫ���� remains focused on continuous improvement to ensure every student is supported to thrive - academically, spiritually, and personally.”
