Annual NAPLAN assessment is approaching for Gympie SHS students in Years 7 and 9. Online tests will be administered to students between March 12 and 19, 2025 (Term 1, Weeks 7 and 8).

Parents who wish to withdraw their students from NAPLAN assessment:
Students must collect a withdrawal form from C Block and have returned to C Block by Thursday 6 March. If a student has not returned the withdrawal form by the due date, and is present on a testing day, they will be required to sit the test.
