2012
The NAPLAN test dates for 2012 are Tuesday 15 May, Wednesday 16 May and Thursday 17 May.
All schools must ensure that the week beginning 14 May 2012 is set aside for the national tests. Do not schedule other major school activities during this time.
Schools that have a gazetted holiday on any of the scheduled test days must apply to the QSA for a variation by completing the Variance request form that will be available from the QSA website early in 2012.
