YEAR 9: OLNA TESTING COMMENCES TUESDAY, 11 AUGUST
Due to the cancellation of NAPLAN 2020 and therefore the loss of the opportunity to prequalify for the WACE literacy and numeracy requirements, the current Year 9 students have been provided with an opportunity to sit the OLNA in the week beginning Monday, 10 August, 2020 on an opt in basis. The OLNA is an online literacy and numeracy assessment. It is designed to enable students to successfully meet the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) requirement of demonstrating the minimum standard of literacy and numeracy. Information was sent to parents via email to register your intention to opt in for testing. We ask that if you have missed this email, please call or email the Careers centre at Perth Modern School by close of business tomorrow Friday, 31 July 2020 to register your child.
Please contact: heather.boyd@education.wa.edu.au

Students have 60 minutes to complete the writing test. Students will use their own devices under teacher supervision.
