At Mowbray Heights we use a range of school based assessments to guide the teaching and learning program in our school.  We also have a range of external assessments which contribute to our school based data. 

Recently we received a summary of our 2025 NAPLAN results and whilst we acknowledge that this is just one piece of data about student performance, we are once again extremely pleased with our overall results.

In all areas (Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, and Numeracy) in both Year 3 and Year 5, our results are well above similar schools with regard to the mean scores and the percentage of students categorised as strong or exceeding.  This is an outstanding result! 

Year 3 Mean scores are above Similar Schools in all domains

Reading +27, Writing +38, Spelling +37, Grammar & Punctuation +55, Numeracy +4

Year 5 Mean scores are above Similar Schools in all domains

Reading +43, Writing +47, Spelling +62, Grammar & Punctuation +66, Numeracy +45

At this stage we have not been provided with data that enables us to compare our mean score with Tasmanian or Australian averages.  As soon as those data sets become available, I will share the comparisons with our school community.

The NAPLAN 2025 Individual Student Reports will be sent home to families today. Please be aware that this assessment was conducted in March, however if families have any questions regarding your child’s assessment do not hesitate to contact your child’s classroom teacher.

A consistent plan for improvement, explicit teaching, high expectations for learning and your support from home, have significantly contributed to these learning outcomes for the students at Mowbray Heights Primary School. 

Together, we can justifiably celebrate this work.
